With the dialog window ‘Object properties’ objects and properties can be changed, added or deleted.
- For changing input data such as coordinates of an area, polyline or a point object and variables that belong to the principal items. Select the principal item Geometry, Elastic foundation, supports or loads in the menu at the left side. On the right side the applied properties that belong to the principal item appear.
- Manual input area: Select a principal item in the tree on the left. Define the area properties on the right, marked by . An area numbering is applied automatically and a new area is added in the tree on the left side. Select the new area in the tree on the left side and enter the desired coordinates.
- Select the area that should be deleted in the menu tree on the left side. Click with the right mouse button and select ‘Delete’.
