Design selected members and walls
Design selected members and walls
There are various ways to design specific members only, using the results of the analyses that have already been performed.
Using a selective design approach can be a more efficient way to work with large models.
Design an individual member, wall, or core
Design Member designs an individual member (taking into account any member design groups that are active).
Design Wall designs an individual wall.
Both these commands ignore the auto-design setting of the member/wall. (i.e. a design is always performed even if the autodesign property is off.)
To | Do this |
---|---|
Design a member/wall from a 2D or 3D view |
|
Design a member from the Structure Tree |
|
Design a wall from the Structure Tree |
|
Design all members in a core from the Structure Tree |
|
Design selected members and walls
Design Selection performs a check or design of each entity in the current selection, according to each entity's autodesign setting, (taking into account any member design groups that are active).
- In the active view, drag a box to make your selection.
- Right-click, then in the context menu, select Design Selection > Static/RSA as required.
The selected members/walls are designed/checked.
If any members in the selection are in a design group, other members in the same group are updated and checked as required.
Interactively design a concrete member
Interactive design is only available for concrete beams columns and walls. A dialog opens showing the existing design of the highlighted member for the currently supplied reinforcement. From here you can interactively modify the reinforcement and instantly see the result.
- In the active view, hover the mouse pointer over the concrete member you want to interactively design.
- Right click and select Interactive Design > Static/RSA as required.
The interactive dialog opens from where the member can be designed.

Design all members in a level, slope, or frame
Design plane performs a check or design of each entity in the plane, according to each entity's autodesign setting, (taking into account any member design groups that are active).
- In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
- In the Structure tree, do one of the following:
To Do this Design all members in a construction level Right click the required Level and select Design plane > Static/RSA as required.
Design all members and walls in a frame Right click the required Frame and select Design plane > Static/RSA as required.
Design all members in a slope Right click the required Slope and select Design plane > Static/RSA as required.
- The Design plane command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').
- It requires at least one member in the selection to be in auto-design mode.
- If any grouped members are designed and the grouped member design option is on, all members of the group are considered in the design even if they are not in the selected level, slope, or frame.
Design all members
Design members performs performs a check or design of every member according to each member's autodesign setting, (taking into account any member design groups that are active).
- In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
- Right-click the Members tree.
- In the context menu, select Design members > Static/RSA as required.
- Design members uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').
- It is not available until at least one member is in auto-design mode.
Design all walls
Design walls performs performs a check or design of every wall according to each wall's autodesign setting.
- In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
- Right-click the Walls tree.
- In the context menu, select Design walls > Static/RSA as required.
- Design walls uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').
- It is not available until at least one wall to be in auto-design mode.
Design all members and walls
Design model performs performs a check or design of every member/wall in the model according to the individual member/wall autodesign settings, (taking into account any member design groups that are active).
- In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
- Right click the Structure branch.
- In the context menu, select Design model > Static/RSA as required.
- Design model uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').
- It is not available until at least one member is in auto-design mode.
Design all members of a particular section or type
Design members performs performs a check or design the selected members according to each member's autodesign setting, (taking into account any member design groups that are active).
- In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
- In the Members tree, right-click the section type or size you want to design.
- In the context menu, select Design members > Static/RSA as required.
- Design members uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').
- It is not available until at least one member is in auto-design mode.
Design all members in a group
Design Group performs performs a check or design of the selected member group according to the autodesign settings in the group.
- In the Project Workspace, click Groups tab.
- In the Design tree, right-click the member group you want to design.
- In the context menu, select Design Group > Static/RSA as required.
- Design Group uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').
- It is not available unless the Design Groups option is checked for the member type in Design Settings.
Design all members and walls in a sub structure
Design sub structure performs performs a check or design of all members/walls in the selected sub structure according to their individual autodesign settings, (taking into account any member design groups that are active).
- In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
- In the Sub Structures tree, right-click the sub structure you want to design.
- In the context menu, select Design sub structure > Static/RSA as required.
- Design sub structure uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').
- It is not available until at least one member in the sub structure is in auto-design mode.
