5.20 Member Property Specification
Purpose
This set of commands may be used for specification of section
properties for frame members.
The options for assigning properties come under 2 broad
categories:
• Those which are specified from built-in property tables
supplied with the program, such as for steel, aluminum and
timber.
• Those which are NOT assigned from built-in tables, but
instead are specified on a project-specific basis, such as for
concrete beams and columns, or custom-made sections for
industrial structures.
