Dialog Boxes

You can define objects in a dialog box, a table, and often directly in the graphic. All entries are interactive: The graphical input, for example, is immediately reflected in the table and the navigator.

The properties of structural and load objects, as well as the object and design types, can be defined or changed in the corresponding dialog boxes.
