Navigating Child Elements

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Once the selected children have been added, they may be viewed or navigated at any time by clicking row by row in the child element summary table.  Clicking a particular child element in the table will automatically select it in the Revit model.

Selecting either multiple rows or all rows via Shift+Click in the table will select all applicable elements in the Revit model.

In addition to navigating children directly from the child elements table, picking any child element in the Revit view while the Element Manager is open will automatically select the parent element in the summary table and redirect to the “Child Elements” tab.

Note also that once the child elements table updates, it indicates in the right-hand column (“Reactions From Parent”) whether the parent’s reactions are copied to each individual child.  If the reactions are not copied, then the child elements will not exert any “Load-Linking” forces on other elements in the load path.  This may be observed by launching a beam calculation for the supporting girder.

The girder calculation will arrive in the ENERCALC SEL interface with “Load-Linked” reactions from the parent beam, but not from the children.clip0462
