Select the desired Load Combination. Select the desired Diagram Type, where options include:

* Vx - axial force
* Vy - major shear
* Vz - minor shear
* Mx - torsional moment
* My - minor axis moment
* Mz - major axis moment

Select the Diagram mode, where options include:

* Diagrams on all members
* Diagrams on selected members
* Erase existing diagrams (This option is one way to remove diagrams from the model. Another way is to use the Restore Model icon.

The final options include:

* Show values (If deselected, only diagrams are drawn.)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/e3d-training-manual/analysis/reviewing-the-analysis-results/graphical-results-on-screen/shear-and-moment-diagrams.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
