Adding picture

The program allows for storing the current picture irrespectively of the program regime. To that end, press the "Add picture" button on the vertical tool bar. The button opens the "New picture" dialog window and inserts the current view on the desktop view in the window.

The picture is always linked to a certain input regime or analysis. (The current regime is displayed next to the picture name). When printing a document the picture is automatically added to a specific regime in the tree.

The program allows for defining the picture either for a specific stage of construction (or for the current analysis) or adjusting the setting such that the picture is added to the document in all stages of construction (or all analyses). The latter option is assumed when selecting "all" in the "Stages" combo list (or "Analysis" list).

Warning: All inputted pictures are automatically regenerated whenever modifying data.

The picture view can be adjusted with the help of vertical tool bar in the left part of the window (edit size and location). See "Tool bar - scale and shift" section for more details on individual buttons. The last button on the bar allows for adjusting the picture page ratio. The "Picture settings" frame in bottom part of the dialog window further allows for adjusting colors and style of line (object) drawing – see "Visualization style settings". 

The "OK" button stores the picture into the "Picture list". It can be then opened and modified at any time.

The picture can be also printed out from this window – pressing the "Print" button opens the dialog window for printing and exporting pictures. If the picture is active over all stages (or all analyses), then all possible combinations of pictures are printed all at once (each picture on a separate page).
