Move the mouse to the lower, right grid point (A) at coordinate (21,0,0) and click.
Now move straight up to the grid point (B) at coordinate location (21,18.5,0) and
click again.
We now have a column on the left from joint N1 to joint N2, and another on the
right from joint N3 to N4.
Click the right mouse button to “pick-up” the pencil. Click the right mouse
button again to stop drawing.
This will pop the button back “up” and the cursor becomes the standard arrow
.
Before drawing the truss we will change the way that members are shown and
color-coded by their section sets.
