Choice of the node (START and END) for the moment release must be done carefully verifying the orientation of the member</p> <p>Arunkumar</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/179614?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 29 Jul 2011 17:57:05 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d48aa3dd-e66e-439d-b2b8-c774f70e8109sureshprsharma<p>You may assign &quot;member truss&quot; to any member, then pin will be provided at start and end nodes of the member.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
