Further Editing

At this stage the structure is ready to be analysed and subsequently designed. The members of the frames will have been designated with their type, for example portal column, wall bracing, canopy rafter, etc. This internal management of the frame members comes into its own in steel design, in that, appropriate design briefs are automatically created for all the different groups of members in the frame.

If you wish to make changes outside the scope of these editing facilities, then you can go back into the normal MasterPort editing facilities by going to the General tab and switching off the Use Simplified MasterPort Interface button. The data will be saved and you can then edit the frame further if required.

Important: Any editing or additional information added now to the frame would be lost if you go back into the Simplified MasterPort interface again.

Also, by switching off the Simplified Interface you will lose the management aspect of the program, for example, in the steel design, you will have to apply design briefs manually. Therefore it is recommended that this interface is switched off only when absolutely necessary.

If you do wish to use the additional editing facilities normally associated with MasterFrame then see the MasterFrame manual for the top menus editing descriptions. This manual may be found in the C:\Program Files\MasterSeries 2019\Doc\Manuals directory as '3 MasterFrame.PDF'.
