In [this quick video](https://www.loom.com/share/5e9161d7207743b7bb0c1cc243b8c7ec), I demonstrate how to swap the bending axis of a beam in ClearCalcs. By default, loads are applied to produce bending around the strong axis. However, there are situations where you may need the beam to bend around the weak axis, often due to depth constraints. Watch the video to learn how to make this adjustment easily.

Feel free to reply to this thread if you have any questions 😉
