The activation of the "Auto connect lines/members" function is shown in Image 01.In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, the program creates a node of the "on member/on line" type on the existing line or member by default.However, if you would like to divide the existing line or member automatically, you can change this in the program options. To do this, open the "Options" → "Program Options..." menu. A dialog box appears where you can deactivate the connection "by internal nodes" option, see Image 02.
