Review model properties (show/alter state)

The Show/Alter State group of commands on the Review ribbon allow you to graphically review and modify various model properties. For each of the commands, entities are color coded in accordance with a legend, and the entity color changes to reflect any changes as they are made.

Operations are accessed by first selecting the appropriate command from the ribbon, and then, when necessary selecting an appropriate attribute in the Properties window.

In the ribbon, click:

  • Embodied Carbon to access:

    • Diaphragm - to graphically review or modify diaphragm settings
    • Gravity only - to review and modify the gravity only setting of beams and columns
    • Restraints - to review and modify lateral restraint settings of steel beams, columns, trusses and portal frames
  • Fixed/Pinned to access:
  • BIM Status - to graphically assess the BIM Status, and also to exclude members and panels from the import/export process
  • Slab / Foundation Reinforcement - to graphically review and edit or rationalize panel, patch or foundation reinforcement
  • Section / Material Grade to access:

    • Active - to set single span members to be active/inactive
    • All properties - to copy all properties between members
    • Assume cracked - to set concrete members as either cracked or uncracked
    • Autodesign - to review or modify autodesign settings
