Adding Another Calculation in the New Division by using [Copy Calc]

 

Similar to the way we added our first calculation, we will now add another calculation in the 2nd Floor Framing Division by making a copy of the current Wood Beam calculation and then move it into the 3rd Floor Framing Division.

 

First, click on the Wood Beam calculation as shown in the screen capture below:

Then, click the clip0256 button. This will read all the data from the highlighted calculation, create an entirely new calculation that is an exact copy of the highlighted one, and open the new calculation so it can be edited as necessary.

 

When the Wood Beam calculation module opens, change the Description item to read "3rd Floor Cantilevered Beam" as shown below:
