Member orientation determines the start and end locations of a member.
In RFEM and RSTAB, it is possible to define various cross-sections for the member start and end. Hinges, eccentricities, and member divisions can also be related to both the member start and the member end. Therefore, it is important to know where the member start and end are located.
To switch the display of member directions on and off, select Model → Basic Objects → Members → Member Orientations in Navigator – Display.
To change the direction of a member, right-click the member and use the corresponding function in the shortcut menu.
