Once the parts are selected a design file can be set, the parts can be reinforced or lifters can be added. Design files can be set from the toolbar or the grid context menu. Items may be disabled depending on if selected parts are all of the same type or not. Design Parts can be run to open design files in their corresponding Eriksson design software. The parts can be reinforced in bulk by clicking Reinforce Parts. Lifters can be added by clicking Add Lifters.

Changing Type

The part’s type can be changed to allow it to be opened in different Eriksson design software. For example, a wall can be changed to a column, then it can have an Eriksson Column file associated with it and opened in Eriksson Column.

To change the type a single part must be selected. The type column has a drop down box where the part type can be changed. When a new type is selected a warning message will ask if the part should be changed. If it is changed an existing design file association will be cleared. A new design file of the appropriate type will have to be set before it can be opened in the appropriate Eriksson design software.
