Design Editor Window
For each Design in a Project File, a separate Window is required for Editing. This allows you compare two Designs easily.
It is comprised of two separate main tabs:
Settings – This is where you enter information specific to the Design, select defaults you want to use for new items added to the project and to select or over-ride environmental loadings (storm, ice, wind, temperature,…)
View – This tab contains both a Plan View tab, an Analysis tab and a Make Ready Manager tab.
- The Plan View is an aerial view of all pole structures and the connectivity between them. Most of your Project work will be done in this tab.
- The Analysis tab is the place where you would initiate analysis of the entire project, see instant results and generate summary and detailed reports. This is covered in the next sections.
- The Make Ready Manager tab is where you compare the current Design to another Design in the current project file (typically the original before cloning) to ensure that your Make Ready notes are in line with the changes detected between the designs.
