10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

Once you have set the parameters of one layer you can copy them to other layers using the "Copy" command. Select a layer and "Copy", then select another layer and "Paste" and the parameters of the first layer are copied to the second one. The definition of the sizing parameters of the metallic sections is done layer by layer. You select the layer for which you want to define the parameters (e.g. Metallic Sub/Underground) and per control category (General, Tensile, Shear, etc.), you define the corresponding parameters. Once you have set the parameters for a layer, the program allows you to copy these parameters to another layer using the Copy And Paste logic. EXAMPLE: Suppose you have set all the parameters for the Metallic Bases layer and you want to pass these parameters to the Metallic Beams layer. Select the check box next "Default" and all the parameter categories are automatically selected. Then select the "Copy" button and select the Metal Beams layer and press the "Paste" button that has already been activated. Now all the parameters of the Metallic Lumber layer have been passed to the Metallic Beams layer as well.
