      The beam profile is locked by default. Highlight the “Circle” item under Beam Profiles Branch and RMB to uncheck the “lock” feature. Then RMB “Circle” =>Edit Beam Profile… A new Geometry tab will open with the beam profile in sketch mode. The radius of the circular section will appear in the Driving Dimensions Folder for editing. After modifying the radius, close beam profile geometry tab. Re-lock the beam profile in project tree and save the geometry.
