Design Colors
The Design colors indicate the design status of each concrete column. The color of each concrete column indicates its design status as follows:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Pale Blue | Column is not ready to be designed. If all concrete columns are pale blue, check the status dialog to determine what needs to be done in order to get the beams to a designable state. The most common reason all concrete columns would be in this state is if no concrete load combinations have been generated or if no column lines have bar patterns assigned. If only some concrete columns are pale blue, they most likely do not have bar patterns assigned (see Section 3.9.3 for more information on bar patterns). |
| Yellow | Column is ready for design. |
| Green | Column was designed and passed all design checks. |
| Blue | Column design passed and the design was frozen. |
| Red | Column was designed and some design warnings were reported. The warnings can be viewed in the View/Update dialog box or in the Column Design Report. If a column is frozen but has design warnings it will be colored red to indicate that design warnings were found (See Section 3.11.5 for more information on freezing the design). |
