This command offers the user the possibility to create tendons from AutoCAD objects such as lines, polylines, splines and arcs. To define the tendon, the following options are available:
Draw a tendon (first point - next point)
Select object
Pick lines or curves
Polygonal mode
Set working plan
To modify the tendon elements use the Modify Tendons command (Icon: ).
Note
Merging Slab PT with Shell PT or Beam PT in a drawing is not recommended. Of course Shell PT and Beam PT can be mixed.
During the definition of the tendons geometry the properties are given via a dialog.
