The sizes are showing up fine. The problem I have is that number of studs have changed to zero. Is there a way to automatically change the studs to the correct number?

What I ended up doing was &quot;assign&quot; beam size and re run design. That reduced the amount of time significantly. <br />Thanks for your help as always.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/633484?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 09 Feb 2021 21:27:28 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:63dc1f6d-137a-4bfa-8de0-ec7f220d6af4Seth Guthrie<p>If the assigned number of studs was too&nbsp;few for minimum composite action this might happen.
