Apr 25, 2010 Thread starter #6 vansamson Structural Apr 20, 2010 8 0 0 PH Thanks to you guys. I have in fact checked my Solidworks 2D drawings window myself and found and used the break command. However, I could not find any command to SHORTEN a broken long beam. Can anybody help me? Upvote 0 Downvote
