Selecting the View/Update command, followed by a Wall Design Group, will execute the design for the Wall Design Group, immediately after which the View/Update dialog will appear. When a Section Cut or Coupling Beam is selected within the three-dimensional view pane, the design results for the selected element are displayed.

If reinforcing exists for a given Wall Panel within the Wall Design Group at the time View/Update is executed, a design check will be performed for the Wall Panel. If reinforcing does not exist for the Wall Panel, the program will select the optimum reinforcement using the Bar Pattern Template assigned to the Wall Design Group.

The View/Update dialog is divided into five regions. In the top left is a pane containing a 3D view of all of the walls in the selected wall design group, along with a toolbar that provides control over the 3D view (see Figure "3D View Pane"). To the right of this is the information pane, containing a number of tabs that contain information about the selected Section Cut or Coupling Beam and the design results (see Figure "Information Pane"). Below the information pane is a design sketch pane showing either the wall design group in plan (if nothing is selected), or a section view of the selected Section Cut or Coupling Beam (see Figure "Design Sketch Pane"). Across the right is a column of buttons (along with a stop light indicating overall design status) for performing actions (see Figure "Buttons"). Across the bottom is a status bar that shows what Wall Design Group is selected, along with the story of the wall that was originally selected in the main RAM Concrete Wall window, and the selected Section Cut or Coupling Beam (if any) (see Figure "Status Bar").

The View/Update dialog can be enlarged by clicking and dragging a window corner. Once this has been done, each pane can also be resized by dragging the bar between.
