The Statistics toolbar

There are 2 statistics icons – the upper one for the frame statistics and the lower one for member information and loads.

The Frame Statistics table gives a considerable amount of information on the quantities of materials within the frame. Principally the section sizes are listed along with their lengths, weights and surface areas with the totals at the bottom of the table.

The table entries can be limited to those visible on the screen, rather than the whole frame.

If members are in viewing groups, these groups can be included in the table.

The alignment of members can also be added – horizontal, vertical or inclined.

Each individual element can be listed (All Sections) or sections of the same size totalled (Section Totals).

You can use the Copy Section/Paste Section buttons to change a particular section to another section size already contained within the table, in order to rationalise the sections in your frame. To do this;

1.Pick the member size you want to copy by highlighting its length, weight or surface info, so the cell changes colour.

2.Press the ‘Copy Section’ button.

3.Highlight the section size you want to change and,

4.Press the ‘Paste Section’ button.

The section size will be altered throughout the frame to the new size.

This table can be exported to Word and Excel (Office Tools module required) or to the printer.

The lower icon gives access to the Member Information and Loads table.

To obtain member information and the loading on a particular member, select the member by;

1.Picking the member from the frame, or

2.Typing in the member stamp reference, or

3.Typing in the member number.
