# COPE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

Features to cope structural elements in different situations:![](https://239424168-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FqtUsszuAWXIZhQhrvjnb%2Fuploads%2Fb9hYL0aRRUEdUaFISDIS%2F0.jpeg?alt=media)

Sort\&Cope works with all types of beams and trusses and their systems (and beams connected with columns).

Cope Beams Connected to Selected Beam:

Change coping distance - can be applied for selected elements or elements in the project. Every feature applied for different situations requires to enter primary joint distance.

Cope beams connected to structural columns:

Remove copings - function to undo coping for selected elements

*\*NOTE: After the beam connections are coped, the shape handles have to be extended to see the final result.*
