How to search for points, lines, surfaces based on element number?

Let’s say bar 21 is giving trouble during the reinforcement calculation. You want to retrieve that bar:

  • Go to the menu Select. Here you can choose between Point Number, Line Number and Surface Number.
    Choose Line number.
  • Enter the number ’21’ and hit OK.
  • Diamonds will select the element.
  • If you’re having trouble seeing or locating the element in a larger, complex structure, hit . This will hide all the element except for the selected element.

Note: it is also possible to show the point, line and surface numbers on the screen:

  • Click on and go to the tab page «Geometry».
  • Again you can choose between Point Number, Line Number and Surface Number.
    Chech the option for for example the Line numbers.
  • If the font size is too small or too big, you can change it on the right side.
