Overwrites button is clicked on the Report Viewer that displays following a right click on a wall pier undergoing Interactive Design.Form: Wall Pier Design Overwrites
The wall pier design overwrites are basic properties that apply only to the piers to which they are specifically assigned. Default values are provided for all wall pier overwrite items. Thus, specifying overwrites may not be necessary. However, at least review the default values for the overwrite items to make sure they are acceptable.
Change an overwrite as follows:
Select the wall pier(s) for which overwrites are being overwritten.
Click the Design menu > Shear Wall Design > View/Revise Pier Overwrites command to access the Wall Pier Design Overwrites form. The wall pier overwrites are shown in a two-column spreadsheet. The left column in the spreadsheet contains the name of the overwrite item. The right column in the spreadsheet contains the overwrite value.
Note: The Wall Pier Design Overwrites form also displays if the Overwrites button is clicked on the Report Viewer that displays following a right click on a wall pier undergoing Interactive Design.
Click in any of the drop-down lists or edit boxes in the Value column to specify an overwrite value. The display area on the right-hand side of the form shows a short description of any item selected in the ItemValue columns. Further information about overwrites can be found in the code specific design manuals available from the Start Page or the Help menu > Documentation command.
Set to Default Values area and All Items and Selected Items buttons. Click the All Items button at any time to reset all items to the program default.
