'''Views'''

Optional an unlimited number of views can be made. The camera position and all display settings will be stored per view. All views are also saved in the project file input file so that they can be displayed and or included in the output again when the project is reopened. You can of course rename all views. In the output selection you can select the views to be included in the output. All 3d view image of Geometry Loads and Results are automatically placed in the right place. When generating output all selected 3d view images are also saved as a png-file in the map where the project file input file is saved.

'''View'''

You can change the view. Name of the view can be adjusted here.

[[File:Display 5.png | 20px|link=http://68.183.11.126/index.php/File:Display_5.png]]

A separate dialog box is displayed where you can change the order of all created views.

'''Views'''

[[File:Aanzicht.png | 100px|link=http://68.183.11.126/index.php/File:Aanzicht.png]]

You can change the view. Default is '''ISO''' isometric view.

This list also automatically contains all grids and levels. The depth is not yet adjustable and is now 500mm in front and 500mm behind. Only the objects within these distances will be visible.

[[File:Aanzicht2.png | 100px|link=http://68.183.11.126/index.php/File:Aanzicht2.png]]

With the setting perspective/orthographic you can set if you want the view to be in perspective.

'''Grid lines levels'''

'''Show own weight'''

Setting whether the automatically generated beam loads as a consequence of the own weight need to be drawn in the load case permanent.

'''Draw hidden layers transparent'''

When some layers are set to be invisible, the beams in these layers are not drawn anymore. With this setting the beams in the invisible layer can be drawn transparent. This is very convenient for giving presentations.

'''Draw undeformed transparent'''

Setting when drawing the deformed construction tab Result: deflection, the undeformed construction needs to be drawn transparent.

'''Show beam groups'''

Beam groups that are created See Eurocode can be graphically displayed. Also the lateral supports at the top and bottom flange are displayed.

'''Show profiles in color'''

The different profiles can be drawn in a color. Every profile has its own color. By this it can be easily checked if all the profiles are inserted right.

'''Show profiles transparent'''

Only in Line view: The profiles are drawn transparent, as solids.

'''Add support on grid'''

When drawing a beam, a pinned support is automatically generated when the node is at a grid point.

'''Show derived beam loads'''

Using surface loads all beam loads will be generated automatically. You can display all derived beam loads.

'''Show plate mesh'''

Setting whether the plate mesh need to be drawn.

'''Show dimension lines'''

'''Material name'''

The material names are displayed at the beam

'''Text on white'''

Setting whether all the text values are displayed on a white background. By default this function is turned off.

The scale of the text can be set.

'''Axis'''

Setting whether the global coordinate system should be drawn.

'''Axis system beam'''

The local coordinate system see Design arrangement will be drawn in the middle of the beam. This is important for inserting the beam loads which are entered in the local beam coordinate system. See Beam loads.

'''Axis system plate'''

The local coordinate system see Design arrangement will be drawn. See Slabs.

'''Axis system surface load'''

View the local coordinate system of the entered surface loads.

'''Nodes'''

'''Profiles'''

Only in Line view: Setting whether a little part of the profile should be drawn in the middle of schematic line of the beam.

The scale of the symbols can be set.

'''Layers'''

[[File:Display 2.png | 400px|link=http://68.183.11.126/index.php/File:Display_2.png]]

'''Layers'''

The layer function works the same as in AutoCAD. Beams can be placed in one or multiple layers. See Beams. The layers can be visible or not. Layers can be renamed.

By making smart use this functionality you can make the graphical input more easy and you will keep overview. Also for giving a 3d presentation, the layers are very convenient.

'''Tip: Use layers. You will experience that it is convenient and very efficient.'''

'''Decisive unity checks'''

Per beam the unity checks can be displayed. These are results form the check according to the Eurocode steel. When the unity check is less than 1,00 the beam meets the criteria, and a green dot is drawn. button_ok. When the unity check is greater than 1,00 the beam does not meet the criteria and a red trianglewarning 16x16 is drawn.

Note. When you double click on the dot triangle, a detailed calculation of the concerning beam is shown.

'''How does that work?'''

You choose Nodes, Beams or Profiles. The combo box is filled with the visible nodes, beams or profiles. The whole model is drawn transparently except for the node, beam or profiles you are looking for. It is very intuitive.

[[File:Image 2022-08-16 145554625.png | 200px|link=http://68.183.11.126/index.php/File:Image_2022-08-16_145554625.png]]

====Results====
[[File:results.png | 900px|link=http://68.183.11.126/index.php/File:Results.png]]

By pressing the calculate button [[File:Calculator.png | 30px|link=http://68.183.11.126/index.php/File:Calculator.png]] or selecting the tab '''Results''' the structure is calculated automatically.

On tab Results:

'''Highlight combination'''

Here you can select the load combination or the load case which you want to be shown.

In [[File:Glasses.png | 30px|link=http://68.183.11.126/index.php/File:Glasses.png]] display options you can choose what you want to see. See Display options
