    Is there a way to put the imported elements into different levels than PS_SHAPE

      Product(s): ProStructures
      Version(s): 08.11.11.616
      Environment: N\A
      Area: N/A
      Subarea: N\A

    Is there a way to put the imported elements into different levels than PS_SHAPE?
    Right now, even if the sdnf file specify “Beam” or “Brace” or Column”, everything is on that level.

    Steps to Accomplish

    Before you start import SDNF:

    Find and replace Beam, Column… in the sdf file to the corresponding shape description in the fdf file

    All shapes will be imported to the assigned levels, also note that if you assign linetypes and colors to the fdf file they should also be applied.

     

    Note: pay special attention to case and names when editing the SDNF and FDF files.
