Problem

How can I turn off the display of the ECS Axes for ProStructure members?

Solution

The Entity Coordinate System (ECS) Axes of Prostructures elements can be turned on or off as required. In this wiki we will describe how how to turn them off using 2 different methods

Option 1: 

Turning them off permanently for future structural element placement. To do that we need to navigate to Structural Settings and then under the Shapes option there is a toggle for ECS Axes. Uncheck that option and then save the settings. From that point onwards you will not see the ECS Axes while placing structural members.





 

Option 2: 

For structural members that are already placed, if they still display the ECS Axes then right click on the element and select the Structural Properties option. From the Shape Properties dialog choose General > Layout and uncheck the ECS Axes option. After that it will no longer display for that structural member.
