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 the structural objects, the load cases and combinations, and the internal forces can be defined or changed in the corresponding dialog windows.
The default buttons in the status bar of a common dialog box have the following functions:
| Button | Function |

|
Show the formulas in text boxes |
|
Save the entries and close the dialog box |
|
Exit the dialog box without saving |

Save the input without closing the dialog box and enable the input of the next object |
