Load Assignments

Assignments are Sheets, Hosts or SOFiSTiK_Members, where the reinforcement elements are assigned to. The kind of Assignment you’re working with depends on the mode for marks setting of your project.

After opening a project, no elements are loaded to the SOFiSTiK Database - All the Assignments in the Browser are disabled. As soon as you’re editing or adding a reinforcement element, the whole Assignment of the modified or new element is loaded automatically - The Assignment in the Browser is enabled.

To load one or several Assignments manually, do one of the following:

• Right-Click a Assignment in the RC Browser (Load).

• Right-Click anywhere in the RC Browser (Load All).
