Identification of beginnings and ends of the analytical elements in Revit

In Revit Structure users can identify ends (beginning, end) of linear elements to more easily define boundary conditions for these elements. It is possible to turn on color coding of analytical model end segments to help identify those ends.
In the Object Styles dialog you can specify different colors, line weights, or patterns for the beginning and end analytical model segments of columns, beams, or braces.

• Open the Structural Settings dialog box on the Analytical Model Settings.

• Check the Differentiate ends of linear analytical elements option.

It a good start but how about give a graphical representation of what the end releases are. IE fixed, Bending Moment and so forth. All good analytical packages give you the ability to have a graphical representation of your end releases.
