Connect structure components

Select a component in the 3D view or a member in the Structure editor. Connection points appears for a suitable selection. Components without defined points can still be positioned geometrically, but do not gain an assembly joint from that alone.

Keep snapping enabled and move or place the component towards an offered compatible connection point. Use the shared snap indication to understand the chosen target. A grid or vertex snap positions geometry; it is not the same as docking compatible component points.

Complete the move or placement. When docking succeeds, both components record the joint. Select the member and inspect Connection points. Undo and Redo apply to the recorded placement or move.

In the member Inspector, Attached members follow controls movement of connected members. Leave it off when attached members should keep their positions. Do not assume that moving one post always moves or automatically resizes every connected beam.

Structure Audit lists stale, detached or missing-member connections. Click a row to select the affected member. Reconnect attempts to use a nearby free compatible point. Remove detaches the listed connection while keeping both members.

If no suitable point is available, reposition the components or edit their connection points before trying again. Review the result in the viewport. A successful snap is an editing aid, not a statement about construction or structural safety.
