              BuilderBeam Properties | 
          
The BuilderBeam type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| bending_stiff | 
            Gets or sets a value indicating whether bending stiffness is taken into account (turns beams into trusses and shells into membranes and vice versa).
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| canBuckle | 
            Gets or sets a value indicating whether can buckle.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| color | 
            Gets or sets user defined color of the beam-set.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| crosec | 
            Gets or sets the return cross section of the element.
              (Overrides BuilderElementcrosec.) | |
| Ecce | 
            Gets the nodal eccentricity of the element.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| ecce_glo | 
            Gets or sets eccentricity which is defined in the global coordinate system.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| ecce_loc | 
            Gets or sets eccentricity which is local to the element and can be separately set for each of them.
            The other types of eccentricity would be either attached to a cross section or oriented globally.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| guid | Gets the the builder's identifier.   (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| hasEccent | 
            Gets a value indicating whether an element eccentricity is present.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| id | 
            Gets or sets the identifier (name) of the element.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| ids_secondary | 
            Gets the secondary identifiers of the element.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| is_active | 
            Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is active. If not active, the elements stiffness is reduced
            to such a degree that it does not influence results any more (soft-kill approach). The small
            remaining stiffness should however suffice to keep the system from becoming numerically
            kinematic.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| is_valid | 
            Gets a value indicating whether the builder element is valid.
              (Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) | |
| is_visible | 
            Gets or sets a value indicating whether the element is visible: true if the element is visible on the canvas.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| IsValid | 
            Gets a value indicating whether the element is valid.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| lg | 
            Gets or sets the distance of transverse load from center of shear.
            Is positive if the load points towards the center of shear.
              (Inherited from BuilderElementStraightLine.) | |
| modified_height | 
            Gets or sets the cross section height (depth) modification factor of the this element. Can
            be set in a GH definition with the ModifyBeam-component.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| modified_thick | 
            Gets or sets the cross section wall thickness modification factor of the this element. Can
            be set in a GH definition with the ModifyBeam-component.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| nII | 
            Gets or sets list of nodal indexes or null.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| Ori | 
            Gets or sets the orientation of the element.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| parent_ind | 
            Gets or sets index of parent element from which this element may inherit its properties
            (material, cross section,...)
            A negative value signals that there is no parent;.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| Pos | 
            Gets or sets the position of the element.
              (Inherited from BuilderElement.) | |
| UserData | 
            Gets access to the user-data dictionary.
              (Inherited from CommonObject.) |
