To connect structural elements automatically:

1.      Select the two structural elements to be connected.

2.      Select the command.

The Insert Drop dialog box opens.

3.      Select whether to insert a hoist or dead hang object. From the Resource Selector, select the symbol to insert.

The selected drop is inserted at possible connection points between the structural elements.
