Save linked elements

Save linked elements

It is time to save the linked elements. 

Go to IMPACT - Elements - Save Linked Elements to start the command. 

Start with selecting the two stairs. We are getting the prefix M from the definition, but we want to control the numbering so that we start from M100. Since the two stairs are identical, there is only one element mark. Select the element in the list and press 'Renumber selected'. Write 'M100' and press apply. The element will now be renamed. End with 'Save'.

We also need to save the landing and the other slabs. 

Go to IMPACT - Elements - Save Slabs to start the command.

Select all slabs and the landing. Since we already saved slabs before, we can just use the suggested numbering. End with 'Save'.

The linked elements are done. Shop drawings will be covered in a later chapter.

The next step of the course is to take a look on how to edit different elements.
