Design input

By selecting any of the options in the list, it is possible to display the input determined by the user on the building model in the view window.

Design output

By selecting any of the options in the list, it is possible to display the data determined by the user on the building model in the view window. You can find detailed information on the steel design outputs section.

Show values

If checked, the values ​​of the diagrams will be shown on the structure.

Show purlins

If it is marked, it allows the steel purlins to be displayed on the 3D frame.

Extrude elements

If checked, the frame system is shown as solid (solid). If not checked, it is shown as a line (bar).
