This example explains how different numbering settings result in different part numbers when you modify a part.
To number identical beams:
- Create three identical beams with the numbering series prefix P and start number 1.
- Number the model. All the beams have the part position number P1.
- Modify one of the beams.
- Number the model. You should now have two beams P1 and one P2.
- Change beam P2 to be identical to the others.
- Number the model.
Depending on the numbering settings in the Numbering Setup dialog box, Tekla Structures assigns one of the following part position numbers to the modified part:
