    The analytical projection plane references the location of, or the limits of, the structural member analytical model. The following table defines the plane for each structural element type.

    Structural ElementDefault Analytical Projection Plane
    ColumnsColumns have an analytical projection plane at the top and the base of the column. These horizontal planes are offset from a level and define the limits of the structural column analytical model.
    Structural WallsThe central plane of the wall.
    BeamsBeams have an analytical projection plane parallel to the x-axis of the beam. The plane is defined at a plan level or relative to the beam section geometry.
    BracesRelative to the brace section geometry. The plane is parallel to the x-axis of the brace.
    Structural FloorsThe analytical projection plane of a structural floor is parallel to the plan level on first placement. Subsequent structural floor placements reference the last used projection plane.
    Foundation SlabsThe top face of the foundation slab.
