### Web/Chord Labels

You can change the information that is displayed on webs and non-web members (i.e. chords and end verticals) in the scene by toggling the `Web label` and `Non-web label` settings, respectively. By default we display the member name.

### Show Plates, Plate Names, Plate Details

The following settings let you control the amount of detail that is shown for plates. The default setting is to show plates and their names. You can also choose to show/hide details for the most common plate types and plate sizes on your truss.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

Plates will not display on un-analyzed trusses unless they were first manually added. Plates are automatically added during analysis.
{% endhint %}
