### Support under a beam: placement syntax examples

Source: https://knowledge-base.matrix-software.com/help/matrix-frame/interoperability/mxml/object-positions

Syntax examples for the placement attribute used to position a support under a beam. The first example places the support at the end of beam 17 (code 4098). The second example (since version 6.1) places the support with a reference to support 4, offset by 2.2 m along the local beam x axis.

```text
Syntax example: placement = "4098 | 17 | 0"
```

```text
Syntax example: placement = "16 | 4 | 2.2 | 0" (since version 6.1)
```

### Line load on a beam: pos syntax examples

Source: https://knowledge-base.matrix-software.com/help/matrix-frame/interoperability/mxml/object-positions

Syntax examples for the pos attribute used to position a line load on a beam. The first example places the load on beam 12 starting at 2.5 m and ending at the beam end (code 4098). The second example (since version 6.1) adds mandatory values and repeats the beam reference. The third example (since version 6.1) places the load with a reference to a support, using code 65538 for an intersection of beams.

```text
Syntax example: pos = "2 | 12 | 2.5 | 4098 | 0"
```

```text
Syntax example: pos = "2 | 12 | 2.5 | 0 | 4098 | 12 | 0 | 0" (since version 6.1)
```

```text
Syntax example: pos = "16 | 3 | 0.5 | 0 | 65538 | 12 | -0.7 | 2" (since version 6.1)
```
