The same structures are often needed in several projects, such as the purlin with columns and braces in this example. The dimensions can be changed directly in RFEM or RSTAB by shifting the nodes.
However, it is more elegant to parameterize the input once and save the model as a block. The block can then be opened and edited via the Block Manager.
