Beam definition: Different end template


Users can create different sections along a beam length or path. The checking of the option "Different end template" allows to turn on the transition between the positions of the specified sections. Users should have some special attention to detail:

It is a recommended best practice to follow a drawing sequencing rule, like clockwise or counterclockwise, so that the user creates the sections drawing lines from the right to the left; therefore, the points could have the same numbering.

Some other consequences of the drawing relations should be taken into account, for example, the option "Follow deck edge" is not currently implemented for beams that have different sections along the beam length.
