Form: Display Design Results
Review some of the results of the {Steel Frame, Concrete Frame, Composite Column, Shear Wall, Steel Connections} design directly on the ETABS model (i.e., on screen) using the Design menu > {Steel Frame, Concrete Frame, Composite Column, Steel Connections} Design > Display Design Info command.
Display design information on screen as follows:
Run an analysis.
Perform at least one design using the Design menu > {Steel Frame, Concrete Frame, Composite Column, Steel Connections} Design > Start Design/Check command.
Select the Design menu > {Steel Frame, Concrete Frame, Composite Column, Steel Connections} Design > Display Design Info command to access the Display Design Results form.
Select the Input or Output option and select from the drop-down list the type of information to be displayed on screen.
Use the Assign menu > Clear Display of Assigns command to remove the on-screen display of design information.
