Dockable Windows / Moveable Tables

What are they? Dockable windows are windows that can be freely moved or placed at fixed positions on the left/right/top/bottom of the screen.

Dockable windows demo Watch the demo showing some of the possibilities of dockable windows.

The tables for Geometry (Grid lines/levels, Nodes, Profiles, and Members) and tables for Loads (Load cases, Member loads, Node loads, and Combinations) can be shown or hidden.

You can enter your structure entirely graphically, without needing tables. However, it can be useful to view data such as node coordinates in tabular form. That is possible. But unlike many other programs, you can also make all changes directly in those tables. It doesn't matter. Graphical drawing or numerical input via tables can be done simultaneously. After each change, all tables are updated and the structure is redrawn. And naturally, the undo and redo functions work.

The windows can be placed as 'floating' (at any position inside or outside the screen), or 'docked' to the left/right/top/bottom of the main screen. This provides a lot of freedom. You set up what you find comfortable. The program remembers this setting so you only need to do it once. Of course, you can always change it.

For example, when using 2 computer screens, the structure can be displayed graphically in full screen on one monitor, and the tables on the other.
