Representation of Loads

Scaling of Load Sizes (Loads on 1D Members)

To optimize Load display, the displayed Load symbol is automatically resized based on 1D Member thickness.

1D Member thickness is set at: Project Preferences > Structural Analytical Model Representation

For example, a 1D Member with smaller thickness will display smaller Load elements.

Tip: Set the 1D Member thickness to suit your needs in the project, but be aware that this is a project-level setting, and affects the representation of Structural Analytical Model elements for all Teamwork users.

Show Point Load Arrows as Transparent

Use the “Transparent Symbols” toggle of the Structural Engineering toolbar. These affect the display of Point Load arrowheads in 3D views.

Minimum and Maximum Load Size representation

To improve visibility in the project, geometric limits have been introduced in the representation of Loads.

After reaching certain intensity limits (either the minimum or the maximum value) the size of Loads will not change.

The default limit values are as follows:

Load Tool	Minimum Intensity	Maximum Intensity
Point	1 kN	1501 kN
Line	1 kN/m	76 kN/m
Surface	1 kN/m2	26 kN/m2

Note: If needed, these min/max values can be changed from the registry.
