Custom Structure

Build a custom structure from built-in parts or saved components in the Structure editor.

Custom StructureCustom Structure

Custom Structure creates an empty wizard object and opens the Structure editor so you can build it from members. Add posts, beams or other offered parts, then set their dimensions and appearance. The object remains editable as a structure. The entry depends on access to the Structure editor feature.

1

Create a structure

Open the Hardscape Add panel and choose Custom Structure under Create from Scratch. A new object is created and its Structure editor opens. This creation is a drawing-history step; closing the editor is separate from creating the object.

2

Insert members

With no member selected, open Inspector and its Components section. Choose a built-in part or saved component and place it in the viewport. Use Add (A) to return to insertion. Press Esc to stop placing.

3

Position and size the parts

Select a member and use Move (M), Rotate (Q) or Scale (S). The Inspector exposes Position, rotation and size and any supported Parameters. Check Edit scope before changing identical members.

4

Choose appearance and connections

Set the selected members’ Appearance in the Inspector. When compatible connection points are available, the shared snapping system can dock components. Use Connection points and Structure Audit to inspect the resulting joints; proximity alone does not guarantee a connection.

5

Duplicate, delete and restore

Use Duplicate or Ctrl+D to copy selected members. Delete removes members from the current result. With the selection cleared, Hidden and deleted members offers Restore all. Edited members can be returned to their generated state with Reset.

6

Keep or undo the session changes

Done keeps your edits and leaves. Cancel attempts to undo edits made since opening the session; successful cancellation leaves those edits available through Redo. Each edit is a drawing-history step. Do not expect one undo after Done to undo the entire session.
