+=== Particularities of RDM6-7 ===
+//RhinoBeamTools// degrees of freedom and local axis orientation are based on Steel. To preserve as much as possible the model when exporting to RDM6-7, the following changes are applied to the exported file:
+  * RBT's local y axis is declared as RDM6-7 local Z axis
+  * The nodes constraints (DoF) are simplified, to keep only
+    * Fixed on all DoF
+    * Translation fixed / rotation free on all DoF
+    * Fixed on all DoF except Z rotation
+    * Fixed on all DoF except Y rotation
+<WRAP center round important 60%>
+Every other node constraints will be ignored and set to free.
