Merging Several Members into One Member and Converting Existing Nodes into Nodes on Member

If you want to combine several members of a member set into one member again, proceed as follows:

Step 1

Select the relevant members and thus the corresponding lines. Open “Join Members”.

Step 2

Select the line that has just been merged and edit it. It is necessary to delete all nodes on the line. The first and last nodes listed always correspond to the start and end nodes. Thus, the nodes 59, 95, 131, and 167 would have to be deleted here.

Click “OK” to close the dialog box.
Important: No nodes on member will be deleted, this only concerns nodes on line.

Step 3

Next, it is necessary to select all intermediate nodes on the member so that you can edit them. To do this, open the editing dialog box for the nodes. In the “Main” tab of the node editing dialog box, you need to change the node type to “On Member.” If you have done everything correctly, the corresponding member is automatically displayed in the “On Member” tab under “Parameters | Member No.”

Close the editing dialog box by clicking “OK.”

Step 4

To check your entries, you can open the member's editing dialog box. The “Nodes on Member” option is now activated there. Click the “Nodes on Member” tab to open the dialog box where you can find a list of the nodes that you have edited.
