Overview of Parallel/Concentric Girder System Layout Definition

 

Layout Definition input in Parallel/Concentric Girder System Projects is organized into the following categories:

 

Girder Layout

Bracing Layout

Customize Generated Geometry

Supports/Hinges

 

The input associated with each category is further organized into subcategories, each with an associated button which asks a question or series of questions to specify, review, or change a given category of input.  The WIZARD button asks the questions that are associated with a group of these buttons to cover the primary Layout Definition information in one sweep.

 

The ACCEPT button saves the changes that were made and returns to the main menu.  The CANCEL button returns to the main menu without saving the changes that were made.
