I found a way to adjust it by every 4' starting at 8' but I would like a custom length to suit my project is there a way to adjust it to a custom length without it snapping to the 4' increments when I stretch it? I would like to have it 3/4" shy of 12'</T></DIV> Tue, 24 Mar 2020 15:58:31 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Parallel-Chords-1-Archicad-21/m-p/230759#M1531 Anonymous 2020-03-24T15:58:31Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Parallel-Chords-1-Archicad-21/m-p/230760#M1532 PBI Rookie:<BR /> <BR /> The interface on my computer is a bit different than yours, but try this: at the top of the Steel Joist Settings panel is the parameter "Type of Steel Joist".
