Note: The positioning/moving syntax described in Equipment and Primitives, also applies to Structural steelwork elements.

Keywords:

MOVE ALONG BY AT

Description:

Movement relative to a fixed starting position (MOVE, ALONG, BY commands) is possible for all structural elements which have a directly defined location in the 3D model; for example, Frameworks, Subframeworks, Primary Joints and Nodes (but not Secondary Joints and Nodes, whose positions are dependent on that of a Section), Routing Planes, Panels,

Absolute positioning (AT command) is possible only for Sections, Primary Nodes, Routing Planes and Panels.

Examples:

MOVE ALONG E45N DISTANCE 500

Moves Current Element in specified direction by specified distance.

BY N1000 E5000 U7000

Moves Current Element as specified relative to its current position.

AT E2000 N2000 U1000

Moves the Current Element to the specified position. In the case of a Section, POSS is set to this position; in the case of a Primary Node, NPOS is set to this position.
