Adding Another Calculation

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Similar to the way we added our first calculation, we will now add another calculation in the 2nd Floor Framing Division by making a copy of the current Wood Beam calculation and then move it into the 3rd Floor Framing Division.

 

First, click on the Wood Beam calculation as shown in the screen capture below:

Then, click the clip0256_was_BMP button. This will read all the data from the highlighted calculation and create an entirely new calculation that is an exact copy of the highlighted one.

 

Here is a view of the newly created calculation:

Double-click the new calculation to open it.  When the Wood Beam calculation module opens, change the Description item to read "3rd Floor Cantilevered Beam" as shown below:

Next click the [Save & Close] button to save this new calculation to the Project File and close the calculation. The Project Manager will appear as follows:

The final step is to move this new calculation into the 3rd Floor Framing Division. This is easily done by using these buttons:

While the new calculation is highlighted, click the Move Highlighted Item Down clip0261_was_BMP button twice to move it down to the 3rd Floor Framing Division. The Project Calculation list will appear like this:
