To merge members
Two merge two or more members into a single member, use the following procedure.
The member merge
will result in a final member that connects the start node of the first member
and the end node of the last member.
Note: While this procedure works on members that are no co-linear, doing
so may result in unwanted results as the resulting merged member will leave
nodes not in line between the extreme ends outside of the member line.
The section and material of the last member in the selection will be used for the resulting merged member.
