Re - Dummy beams or existing
There is another possibility to not delete the elements in the structure which you don't need, but you want them in overview drawings. You can Explode them to ACIS (Autocad Solids) using the function "Explode to ACIS" available at right-click on the AS object. This will transform the object into a solid which Advance Steel will not number, it will not appear in BoM extracts and will not be detailed in Single Part drawings. Still, you can have the avaliable in overview details, but without any dimensions or posibility to add a label to it. -
Re - Dummy beams or existing
Hello,
No, you can't assign to an Advance Steel element the weight 0, or to make it a dummy beam/plate. The whole structure which is present on a model file needs to be smaller then 10tons in order to number it and then generate details.
