Question:
How do I control the content of the member report drawing?

Answer:
You can control the content of drawings within Tekla Structural Designer via the Draw ribbon (1) > Edit... command (2).

For member drawings you need to review the Member Details (3) sub-pages under Layer Configurations or Layer Styles and select the appropriate Drawing Variant (4) i.e. Non-concrete Column Detail. You can then turn On/Off items as necessary (5). Layer Configurations control the content of the drawings where as the Layer Styles control how that content is displayed.

Note, that you can create new Layer Configurations and Styles within the dialog allowing you can pick from different options.

You can also control the scale of the drawings included in reports via the Report ribbon (1) >  Member Report…(2). Choose the Member Type (3), Available Style (4) and then right click the Drawing (5) to define the ScaleLayer Configuration and Style you have defined.
