Geometry is assumed to be given in [m]. Creates beams with default properties from given lines. Lines that meet at a common point are thus connected with each other. Karamba assumes input to be in meters.

Inputs

Name	ID	Description	Type
Line	Line	Straight line which will be connected to others if they meet at common points. Node indexes may change if lines are added.	Curve
Color	Color	Colour of the beam. The component applies the longest list principle with respect to the input lines.	Colour
Identifier	Id	Identifier of the beam. Need not be unique in a model. The component applies the longest list principle with respect to the input lines.	String
Cross section	CroSec	Cross section of the beam. The component applies the longest list principle with respect to the input lines.	CrossSection
Points	Pts	List of points which will be inserted at the beginning of the node-list at the output-plug. This makes it easy to reference them by index in the model later on. May contain duplicate points. In case of duplicate points elements are attached to them alternating: first element to first duplicate point, second element to second duplicate point, third element to first duplicate point in case there are only two points in one position.	Point
New	New	If false, a line only results in an element if it connects to points given in the 'Points' input-plug.	Boolean
Remove	Remove	Remove duplicate lines - otherwise there could be two elements on the same spot which is normally not preferred.	Boolean
Limit distance [m]	LDist	Limit distance [m] for coincident points.	Number
Z-Orientation	Z-Ori	New orientation of the local Z-axis of beam. If the vector has zero length, the default orientation remains in place.	Vector
Bending	Bending	If true the beam has bending stiffness. Otherwise it is a truss.	Boolean
