The
Edit Pile Type dialog box opens.

Repeat steps 2–4 as necessary.
Tip: In the
Pile Catalogue, you can also modify or delete the existing pile types:
- To modify a pile type,
select the pile type and click Edit...

select the pile and click Delete.
Note: Material information defined in the
Pile Catalogue has no design significance. It is assigned solely to allow
embodied carbon to be calculated and reported for the 'Pile'
construction type.
