Next we create column properties for different types of pedestral members and model in the grids.

Next we go to the home tab and select Manage Property set option.

Next the new tab will appears, in that we need to add the properties of steel column and steel beam.

Next click on the OK button.

Now we add the steel columns by applying the steel properties which we have added in the manage property sets.

Now we add the steel beams by applying the beam properties which we have added in the manage property sets.

Now the steel beam steel columns are shown in the 3D view.

Next we need to add the beam properties for 1st floor.

Now we go to the home tab and select property sets option.

Next the new tab will appears, in that we need to add the properties of steel beam.

Next click on the ok button.

intent.

Answer -

Here we need to create the rafter beam on second floor as roof.

Now we go to home tab and select manage property sets option.

Next the new tab will appears, in that we need to add the properties of steel beam.

Now we add the beams as roof on 2nd floor by applying the beam properties which we have added in the manage property sets option.

Now we go to home tab and select manage property sets option.

Next the new tab will appears, in that we need to add the properties of steel beam.
