Method 1: Graphically

The most direct way to alter the main beam reinforcement is graphically using the mouse in the Beam Elevation window.

To edit the bar quantity/size mouse click on the associated item in the bar label. Left and right mouse clicks will increment the bar quantity/size up and down respectively. With the Options: Pop-Up Bar Menus active a list of bar numbers/sizes will be shown for rapid selection.

With pop-ups active you can also pick on the bar mark to drop a list of bar combinations. This list will be based on the limits set in the Basic Data & Defaults.

To change a bars length pick, drag and release the free end of the current bar.

With the “Multiple Bar Drag” button  down you can drag all bars under the mouse pick.
