Description

Members in GSA are geometrical objects used in the Design Layer. Members can automatically intersect with other members. Members are as such more closely related to building objects, like a beam, column, slab or wall. Elements can automatically be created from Members used for analysis.

A Member2D is the planar/area geometry resembling for instance a slab or a wall. It can be defined geometrically from a planar Brep.
