Stretch & Cutback
Use this to apply both of these adjusters to a single 1D or 2D Member.
The Stretch & Cutback combination has the same effect as using the two adjusters separately.
For example, a 1D Member may need to be stretched at one end, and cut back at the other end.
A 2D Member can be ...
Example 4: Cutback
This adjuster is the opposite of Stretch: it cuts back the Structural Analytical Members which overlap.
Turning on the visibility of the Structural Analytical Model, it is possible to detect the following issues:
–Gap between Walls and Slab
–Slab edge is ...

To illustrate this adjuster type, let’s use a common steel structure composed of Columns, Beams and diagonal bracing:
We see that the Beams’ 1D Members are not connected to the Columns: there is no continuity, which is necessary for structural analysis.
The solution is ...
