Accepted Answer

The elements can be connected using the "Connect Lines/Members" tool. To do this, select the menu option Tools&nbsp;→ Connect Lines/Members or use the corresponding button in the toolbar. In the work window, simply draw a window across the area where the elements should be connected (see Image&nbsp;02). It is not necessary to capture the objects completely.
