The Steelwork tab allows you to change the way Steelwork elements are displayed. Structural steel profiles can be represented by a single center line or by a 2D outline. In some cases, it helps to switch between the two representations to simplify an otherwise complicated view. You can change these settings as well as other common display settings for Steelwork.
