Form: Assign Objects to Tower
Note: This command is available only if the Options menu > Allow Multiple Towers command is enabled.
Every object (columns, beams, walls, and so on) in the model is associated with a tower. Use this form to assign selected objects to specified towers.
Assign objects to towers as follows:
Select the object(s) to be assigned to a tower. The options available on the Select menu can be helpful for this process.
Click the Assign menu > Assign Objects to Tower command to access the Assign Objects to Tower form.
Select a tower definition from the display list and click the Apply button to make the assignment. Any previously assigned tower definition will be replaced by this assignment.
Note that clicking the Modify/Show Definitions button will display the Edit Towers, Stories and Grid System form which can be used to define a new tower definition or copy or modify an existing one.
When the Apply button is used, the Assign Objects to Tower form will remain open until it is closed by clicking the Close button. This allows selection of an additional object(s), to which another assignments can be made.
If only one assignment is being made to only one set of selected objects, the OK button can be used to both apply the assignment and close the form.
