Design State: “red-dotted cell: If the project data has been modified after the code check, a red-dotted cell serves as a reminder that the code check needs to be re-run.
The status label "No Changes" indicates that the code check report for the beam is up-to-date.
The spreadsheet cell labeled "Changes After Last Code Check" provides information on the modifications made to the model following the completion of a code check. It displays the updates or revisions implemented as a result of the code check analysis.
...
The analysis source that will be considered during the verification process is indicated in the column cell labeled "Analysis Source". The selection and treatment of the analysis source in the code check process are explained in detail in the part “Revisiting Code Check Templates with a Special Focus on Columns” under the "Column Design" section.
By clicking on the cell-button labeled "Show" in the "Detailed Report" cell, you can access the corresponding detailed reports for each set of load combinations based on the selected analysis results. These detailed reports provide information such as design parameters, analysis results, M-N interaction diagrams, code checks with relevant references. Figures 3a-3d showcase some screenshots from the column code check detailed report, highlighting the available information.

✏️ Drawing Vertical Rebars
Hitting the "Draw Rebars" button initiates the rebar template creation process. This action opens a new dialog box that prompts you to specify the reference line distance for placing rebars, as shown in Figure 8. This reference line distance is crucial for accurately positioning the rebars within the column design. By providing this input, you can precisely define the spacing and arrangement of the reinforcement bars.
...
Once you have completed all the necessary manipulations and adjustments to the rebars in the "Show Rebars" window, you can click on the "Back" button. This will return you to the previous view (Figure 9b).
✏️ Drawing Horizontal Rebars
By clicking on the "Show Stirrups" button (Figure 9b), a new window will open, providing you with the necessary drawing action buttons for creating and modifying stirrups in your column design. This window, as shown in Figure 9e, offers various tools and options to help you accurately place and customize the stirrups according to your design requirements.
