how can see the local axis of member in modelling mode

hi

how can i see the local axis of member in the Modelling mode graphically.


we are using z Up Command and local axis of member are differing from usual member axis.

so we need to graphically see for each orientation of member what is the local axis.


is there any command for this.

  • For any member, the color coding of local axis system is same. Local axis system is determined on basis of how the member is created in the 3D space. For example, consider a member oriented in 3D space in such a way that there is a inclination with each global axis. In such case, global axis and local axis system is different. 
    Positive local X axis is determined how the member is created, from start towards the end node. Right hand rule may be applied to obtain the positive directions of the local Y and Z axes. Go through section G4.2 and G4.3 of help manual for more details about local axis system and relation with global axis.
