REPRESENTATION PROFILE
Description:
The REPRESENTATION PROFILE commands allow structural steel profiles to be represented in a centreline or solid profile format. In some cases, it helps to switch between the two representations to simplify an otherwise complicated view.
TUBE and CENTRELINE representation are not instantly updated on the screen. To see the effects of a representation change, use the REPResentation UPDATE command to make any changes visible.
