When we draw stick symbol version of structural framing we tend to draw the location line at the top of a beam. By default though the location for the symbol is the centre of geometry. Is there a way to make Top of Geometry the default?

I know it can all be selected afterwards and changed then, but a lot of people seem to tend to forget this, so it would be nice to have it default to our prefered standard.

Thanks,

when you click the beam button, or key in your shortcut, Before you place the beam change its stick symbol location in instance properties. then place a beam. every subsequent beam should default to that. you could do this in your template i think and then all future projects should default to this behavior
