Drawing load patterns

You draw load patterns as part of the pattern loading process.
  1. Choose Layers > Pattern.
  2. Open one of the load pattern plans (from Load Pattern 1 through Load Pattern 10).
  3. Double click the Pattern Load tool ().
  4. Specify which pattern number you wish to use (the number should correspond to the load pattern plan’s number). Draw the on-pattern areas with a polygon.
  5. Click at each slab area vertex consecutively.
  6. Snap to the first vertex and click to close the polygon (or type "c" and press <Return>).
  7. Repeat for all patterns.
Note: Regardless of which load pattern plan you are using, the pattern number will be the last one specified. You will need to change this for each different pattern plan.
