Despite any possible differences in individual items due to specific regulations of different national standards, the Setup dialogue has got the same layout for all implemented national standards.
In general, the Setup Dialogue consists of four parts (see the picture below):
• filter window (A),
• tree window (B),
• property window (C),
• explanation window (D).
Filter Window (A)
This window contains a list of “filters” that can be used to reduce the number of parameters displayed in other parts of the dialogue.
Note: This window may be hidden for some configurations of the dialogue.
Tree Window (B)
This window contains a list of parameter groups arranged in a tree structure.
Clicking on a branch in the tree expanses the corresponding part of the property Window (with other branches automatically collapsed).
Property Window (C)
This window lists all the parameters that are available for the current configuration of the dialogue. The parameters are sorted in groups (branches). You may expand or collapse the required groups.
Explanation Window (D)
Once an item is selected in the Property Window, an explanation is displayed in this window. If possible, the explanation is accompanied with an illustrative picture.
See chapter Adjusting the parameters for design for "how to open" the dialogue.
Note: Individual items in the Setup dialogue are printed in either black or blue colour. Items in black are valid for the whole project. Items in blue colour are default values for individual beams. These values, however, can be separately modified on individual beams. The modification of "blue values" can be done via function Concrete Advanced > Member data 1D.
Note: The items displayed in the dialogue may vary according to (i) the project settings and (ii) the place from which the dialogue has been invoked. The dialogue takes account of the "caller" and may hide some items that are not relevant to the current operation.
