There are several categories shown in black that are collapsed ( i.e. When in my report, if I go to layout, my libraries and materials bar appear on the right side of the screen ( most are greyed out). In other words, when I have my report open on one monitor and my plan open on another monitor the creation of walls or lines seem to be not so lagging. Do you find that when you have your report open in a split screen that your drawing seems to lag behind. I do have several questions though that maybe you can shed some light. I was able to finally eliminate my output errors.
#HOW TO CONFIGURE SOFTPLAN 2016 SOFT LIST HOW TO#
I must say though, I am still a little green on how to save new symbols or formulas in both the project and system configuration. Utilizing two monitors, it makes it that much more friendly. I had the opportunity to dive into the softlist reports this weekend in 2018 and really like the softlist set up. At least till I figure how to get the formulas set to do an almost perfect list I understand the logic of the material changes not updating to system, since a lot of the changes are project specific. I'm thinking I can't turn the list I'm working on now , off until I finish and save to excel. I'm doing a list tonight, will take a little time and I will have to remember to save it as an excel, so I don't loss the changes and info. I don't really have weeks to fix details.Īgain just want to keep this concern up there, in hopes a change will take place. I can maybe see working up to dealing with the new live softlist, but not being prepared to see this major change in softlist take place, it will take weeks to get things to put out a usable list as is. I think it would be cool to throw the old softlist back in and name it, ? let's see, something else? So guys like me can continue to work, without going back and redoing everything so we can use softlist.
#HOW TO CONFIGURE SOFTPLAN 2016 SOFT LIST PDF#
Tabulated results for wind & seismic load generations and torsional analysisĭid you know? Modelling a structure is quick and easy: start from a blank slate or use a pdf or wmf file as a template.Hope Softplan doesn't forget or does the changes to give softlist the ability to edit Items and create a way so softlist isn't live, so it won't regenerate when you don't want it to otherwise editing it does no good.
