QUESTION: How to provide Beam Rotation angle for Precast/Prestressed Girders in OBM?

Answer:

User needs to select the Beam elements in the 3D model.
Then in the Properties window user needs to select the Beam Group under Elements.
Under Beam group Properties --> Use Beam Rotation option needs to be changed to TRUE.
Then user can select individual beam and Select the Beam definition and click on EDIT.
In the new Beam Definition window user can overide the calculated Rotation angle.

Currently for I-Girder steel, girder's rotation option is not available in OBM.
