Process - View Update
The View/Update dialog box is used to check individual footing design results and redesign footings after modifying the design parameters. These dialog boxes are non-modal so they do not need to be closed before selecting to View/Update another footing. You can do so by simply clicking on another footing.

Update Database button | This button is used to update the model database with the parameters in the view/update dialog box as well as to save the current design of the foundation. No optimization is performed on footings that have had their database information updated. These footings will only be checked until their design is cleared through the Process menu - Clear Design Option. |
Close button | Closes the View/Update dialog box without updating the design. If the foundation information was saved using the Update Database button, this information will remain saved but any changes since the command was issued will not be. |
The View Results button | This button is used to display the detailed design information on the footing. |
The View Envelopes button | This button is used in the Continuous View/Update dialog box to display the moment and shear envelops for the analysis of the footing. |
Footing image | The footing is displayed graphically in the dialog box with pertinent information relating to footing size and reinforcement segments for continuous footings. |
The Redesign button | This button is used to redesign a footing after changes have been made to the Results or Materials tab. |
The traffic lights on the View/Update dialog box graphically indicate the status of the design. A green light indicates the design is current and passes all checks. Yellow indicates the design is not current and a redesign is required. Red indicates that the design did not passed and the footing design settings need to be modified. There is a description of the reason why the footing did not pass on the Design tab.
