Modifying Structural Settings<br />

You can create custom cutback distances for braces, beams, and columns. You can also create custom brace<br />

symbols for use in plan views and for parallel line offset distances. You may want to add symbolic settings<br />

to a template. You may want to consider adding the settings that you use most often, and modify their<br />

properties accordingly. This can save time and ensure office standards are maintained.<br />

Create custom symbolic representations<br />

1 Click Settings menu ➤ Structural Settings.<br />
