Navigation:  Working With Beam Calculations > Monitoring and Change Warnings > Geometry Changes

Direct changes to the geometry of a beam designed using ENERCALC for Revit will result in a change warning.  This includes changes such as the following:

•Section size change

 

•Start Extension or End Extension change

 

•Start or End joint move

 

•Shift or move entire beam

If working in “Real-time” monitoring mode, these changes will result in a pop-up notification to the user.  When the pop-up notification is presented, the user has 3 choices.

The first button will cause the impacted element(s) to be placed in a warning state (orange) and a description of the change will appear in the Element Manager.  The second button will preserve the change committed by the user, but will not create any warnings on the impacted element(s).  The third button will undo the preceding change that triggered the notification.

The pop-up also bears a checkbox which allows the user to “hush” future warnings about geometry changes.  If this box is checked, a visit to the Preferences menu will confirm that notifications of this specific type have been deactivated.  The specific warning type may be reactivated from the Preferences menu at any time if it has been previously “hushed” from the pop-up notification window.

 

Warning states will still be reflected in highlighting and in the Element Manager, but pop-ups will not interrupt the work session.  Regardless of whether a change was accompanied by a pop-up, all changes are noted in the Element Manager summary table and via element highlighting.
