Adjusting Support Size for Definition of Effective Lengths

How can I adjust the display of support sizes when setting the effective lengths for the equivalent member method?

Answer:

The size of the displayed supports can be adjusted using the display properties. To do this, open the display properties and change the effective length supports to match the dimensions of the beam.
