To start using BuildingTclViewer, select the File Menu in the menu bar.
There are three choices:
- New -- Start the input file from scratch
- Load (Recommended) -- Load an existing BuildingTcl script.
- Exit -- Exit program without saving to user-specified input file.
New
- The user is prompted for a new filename and location.
- We recommend that the user not save the input file in the root directory of the program, but that a new sub-folder be created.
Save the name and location of the new input file:
NOTE: BuildingTclViewer does not autosave to the selected filename. As a backup, evertime an object is saved, the program saves all the current data to a BuildingTcl script named CurrentData.tcl in the same folder at the input file
Load
- The script may be generated using a txt editor, or created using BuildingTclViewer and saved onto a file.
- The user can modify and augment the input and then save the new script to the same file or a new one.
- NOTE: The current release of BuildingTcl and BuildingTclViewer cannot interpret input files with OpenSees commands. Only files with Tcl and BuildingTcl commands are interpreted.
