Select the All option and hold the mouse to display its selection. Selecting All will perform the design with all the sections in the database.


The All option is used to perform an optimum design.

Only narration We can also perform a design check by choosing specific sections.


Desired sections can be selected from the Customized option.

Select the Customized option.

Point to Customized window.

Point to Available and Selected sections.

Let us select the Customized option.

Customized window opens with Available and Selected sections.


Point toward the Selected sections in the Customized window. Selected section displays the list of standard section sizes from the database.


Click on the cross field at the right corner Now, close the Customized window.
Click on the Section Size drop-down menu We will go back to the Section Size drop-down menu.
Select All option. And, select All for our design example.
Point to Material. Let us now specify the Material grade.
Click on the Material drop-down menu. Click on the Material drop-down menu.


Scroll through the list The list of standard material grades will open.
Point towards the Custom option. Custom material properties can be defined and saved by using the Custom option.
Scroll up and select E 250 (Fe 410 W)A I will select E 250 (Fe 410 W)A option.
Type 3200 in the Length text box. Type the Length of the member as 3200 mm.
Point to Factored Loads. Let us now define the Factored Loads.
