The Assign Bar Pattern Templates dialog allows the engineer to assign bar pattern templates to wall design groups in the model.

First, select a bar pattern template from the list of defined bar pattern templates. Attributes of the template will be shown on the right. This will enable the buttons inside the Assign to Wall Design Group box.

To set the bar pattern template to use on wall design groups one at a time, click the Single button. The Assign Bar Pattern Templates dialog will go away, and target cursor will be visible in the main RAM Concrete Wall window. Click on lateral walls to set the bar pattern template of their corresponding wall design group. All walls in the wall design group will be highlighted, and all of them get the bar pattern template assigned together. Clicking on a wall that does not belong to a wall design group will result in an error.

To set the bar pattern template to use on a group of wall design groups, select the Fence button. The Assign Bar Pattern Templates dialog will go away, and the fence cursor will be visible in the main RAM Concrete Wall window. Click and drag a rectangle on the screen to select the desired walls. All lateral walls in the rectangle that belong to some wall design group will be highlighted (along with all other walls in all of the highlighted groups), and all of these will get the bar pattern template assigned together.

To set the bar pattern template for all lateral walls in the model that already have a wall design group assigned, click the All button.

Select Edit Templates to create a new bar pattern template, or edit an existing one. This will bring up the Edit Bar Pattern Templates dialog.

Click the Close button to dismiss the dialog without making assignments.
