Reports

Several reports are available from the Reports Menu including all Summary Reports for column, column loads and base plate design.

Because the program alternates Live Loads on columns to obtain the controlling combination of unbalanced moment and axial loads, the Column Summary report should not be used to obtain maximum loads at column bases. The total loads are reported in the Loads Report or Loads Summary report. A steel takeoff of all gravity columns is also available from the Reports menu:

  • Select Reports > Takeoff.
  • Click to exit the report.
  • Select File > Exit.
Note: You can save your model at any time form any module, but you are not required to save before exiting. If you close the Manager completely or change to another model, then the program will prompt you to save any recent changes.
