I have quite a large roof with bracing (round bars + turnbuckles). I have a problem with changing geometry of bracings. When I'm stretching the structure, bracing remain at old location and I have to move every bracing construction point individually. It's very annoying and costs a lot of time.
Does exist a method to do it more effectively and faster ?
Dear Greg
Try to stretch just one set of bracings, delete the other bracings and after that use the advanced copy tool do copy the stretched bracings or
model the structure with the correct dimensions to not alter it...

Thx for the answer.
Stretching one set of bracing doesn't make a difference. Advance Steel stretch almost all elements, but ignore bracing construction point. I just realized that command "move" doesn't ignore bracing, so it's a solution for some cases, but sometimes it isn't enough and stretch would be more effective and faster.
I can't see an option of copying with stretch in advance copy tool. If you mean to stretch one bracing field and copy the same x times - it doesn't work in my case. I have many different dimensions both along x and y axis.
Modelling all bracing manually, without copying would cost a lot of time:
Now I understood your problem. You have different dimensions, so you cant use advance copy tool.
Well, I hope you find a better way
