I'll right mouse click on the joint group and edit and we can see three joints are being created. All the beams are selected. The definition for finding joints. Our objects are touching each other. If they weren't quite touching, we could set a tolerance within which the ends of the members would be grabbed and created as a joint. Everything is fine here, so we calculate and I'll just update the joints. We can click OK. Joints are being recalculated. But the order may have changed. Just a minor warning message. I'll want to ply our constraints so we right mouse click on Fixtures, choose Fixed Geometry, and then using the joints to highlight we pick this bottom joint, left hand side bottom joint, right hand side.
