Access the Line Information form by moving the cursor onto the object as if to select it, and then clicking the right mouse button rather than the left mouse button. The following list identifies the loads that can be assigned and provides a hyperlink to the Help topic associated with the item. Although many load options are available, assign only those loads required for your model.
Note: When displaying an object-based model, many items can be edited by double left clicking on the parameter (not the item name) to display the forms used to specify the load. With a form displayed, click the F1key to display a form-specific help topic. The hyperlinks below also provide access to those help topics.
Label - Identifies the name of the selected object. See the Change Labels topic for more information about labelling within SAP2000.
Design Procedure - Identifies the current design procedure for the selected line object. See the Define Materials topic for more information about design parameters in SAP2000.
Any loads assigned to the line object are listed in the large display box of the Line Information form. For more information about possible load assignments, click on any of the following hyperlinks.
Update Display button. Use this button to update the active window with the most recent change made to the selected object.
Modify Display button. Use this button to access the Show Frame Loads form, which lists the various specifications or assignments made to the selected object. Use the form to select which specification or assignment is to be displayed in the active window, regardless of the sequence of the changes.
If the line object has been drawn as a cable or curved frame, the Line Information form will include a Show Layout button. Click that button to display the Cable Geometry form or the Curved Frame Geometry form, depending on the type of line object. Use the form to review the alignment of the line object, and if necessary, modify the alignment or, if applicable, change a curved frame to a straight frame.
