2. Assign Supports (Restraints)
Step 2-1: Select All Nodes at Bottom of Staircase Activate “X-Y Plan” window by clicking on right window area, make sure that current plan view is at Z = 0 by clicking at the top of this window. (If not using Move Down in List or Move Up in List to change Plan view elevation) and draw the selection rectangular to cover all nodes at bottom of stair as shown in figure below.
