• From Center

• From End

• From Start

Component

To place lifters into the model, components must be set for the two types of lifters for each part type. Clicking the button to the right of a lifter type will bring up a Tekla “Select component” window where all components can be viewed and the lifter component selected. Once selected, the name of the lifter will be shown
