Selecting and storing views

The programs offer a number of ways of displaying results. A specific option can be selected from the "View results" dialog window. Quite often it is necessary to go through a complex and tedious setting of views – for example, if we are interested in the distribution of internal forces developed in beams using FEM, it is necessary to turn off the color range, draw only undeformed structure, select a variable to be displayed, select a suitable magnification, etc.    

To simplify the way of managing individual views the programs allow us, using the "Selecting and storing views" bar, to store the current view and also to go from one view to the other in a relatively simple way.

The stored view keeps:

The view is stored for all stages of construction – if it is not possible in a certain construction stage to perform such a setting (e.g. in the first construction stage the settlement and depression are not defined) the programs displays the closest possible setting and the defined view is switched to <none>.

Control units of a tool bar "Views"

The following control units are available to manage views:

	Define view	opens the "Results visualization settings" dialog window, which serves to define details for displaying the results
	Select view	a combo list  allows for selecting an already specified and stored view
	Store current view	opens the "New view" dialog window to store a new view
	Open view manager	opens the window with a list of views
