What is the difference between the local and global deflection in the member query box?

Figures (1) and (2) show the local and global deflections of the beam #2 which is a part of the beam joining 2 columns:

Figure (1) 

Figure (2)

Global deflection is the largest distance between (a) and (b) where:

(a) is the line joining the ends of the member in its un-deflected position (named as 'Original shape' in the figure (3));

(b) is the elastic curve of the member representing its deflected shape.

 

Local deflection is the largest distance between (c) and (d) where:

(c) is the line joining the ends of the member in its deflected position;

(d) is the elastic curve of the member representing its deflected shape.
