Check selected members and walls

There are various ways to check specific members only, using the results of the analyses that have already been performed.

Using a selective approach can be a more efficient way to work with large models.

Check an individual member, wall, or core

Do one of the following:
To Do this
Check a member/wall from a 2D or 3D view
  1. Hover the mouse pointer over the member.
  2. If a different entity is highlighted, press the <down arrow> cursor key until the correct reference is shown in the Select Entity tooltip.
  3. Right click and select Check Member > Static/RSA, or Check Wall > Static/RSA as required.
Check a member from the Structure Tree
  1. In the Members branch locate the member reference.
  2. Right click and select Check Member > Static/RSA as required.
Check a wall from the Structure Tree
  1. In the Walls branch locate the wall reference.
  2. Right click and select Check Wall > Static/RSA as required.
Check all members in a core from the Structure Tree
  1. In the Cores branch locate the core reference.
  2. Right click and select Check member > Static/RSA as required.
Note: This command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check selected members and walls

  1. In the active view, select the members to check.
  2. Right-click, then in the context menu, select Check Selection > Static/RSA as required.
Note: This command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check all members in a level, slope, or frame

  • In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  • In the Structure tree, do one of the following:
    To Do this
    Check all members in a construction level

    Right click the required Level and select Check plane > Static/RSA as required.

    Check all members and walls in a frame

    Right click the required Frame and select Check plane > Static/RSA as required.

    Check all members in a slope

    Right click the required Slope and select Check plane > Static/RSA as required.

Note: These commands use the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check all members

  1. In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  2. Right-click the Members tree.
  3. In the context menu, select Check members > Static/RSA as required.
Note: This command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check all walls

  1. In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  2. Right-click the Walls tree.
  3. In the context menu, select Check walls > Static/RSA as required.
Note: This command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check all members and walls

  1. In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  2. Right click on the Structure branch.
  3. In the context menu, select Check model > Static/RSA as required.
Note: This command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check all members of a particular section or type

  1. In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  2. In the Members tree, right-click the section type or size you want to check.
  3. In the context menu, select Check members > Static/RSA as required.
Note: This command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check all members in a group

  1. In the Project Workspace, click Groups tab.
  2. In the Design tree, right-click the member group you want to check.
  3. In the context menu, select Check Group > Static/RSA as required.
Note:
  • Check Groups 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.

Check all members and walls in a sub structure

  1. In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  2. In the Sub Structures tree, right-click the sub structure you want to check.
  3. In the context menu, select Check sub structure > Static/RSA as required.
Note: This command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').
