To delete a status display file from this window , right-click over that file's area in the file tree (left panel) and choose " Delete status " on the context menu. In this example, the status display file that will be removed is "Sequences." The tree shown here has files named "default" "PlateThickness" and "Sequences." If you choose " Delete status " when there is only one file, that one file will be replaced on this window by a default file. At least one file is always shown on the Status Display window. " Delete status " does not delete a file from your computer, but removes it from this window only.
What is true ?
A status condition is true when it is able to color-code an item in the model.

or
or etc. This sets the way that stick members and solid members/materials that meet the " Conditions " in the active status file will be displayed in the 3D model. When ' Member ' and ' any ' are selected, members for which at least one of the conditions is true will be made invisible (masked) if ' Masked ' is selected. If a color is selected, members for which at least one of the conditions is true will be displayed in that color.
Status Display can mask, color code, or isolate members. To set opacity instead of a color:
' Member ' must be selected as the type of item to be displayed.
If you uncheck ( To isolate members: Select ' Masked ' and ' none '. The members for which the " Conditions " are true will be isolated (not masked).
Note: The vertex points or exact points of members that have been masked cannot be located during operations such as Construction Line Add .
Opacity lets you make solid members translucent. It applies only when ' Member ' is the item to be displayed with the selected opacity. Also, opacity does not apply to members in stick form. The opacity of members can be set with a slider or by typing a number between 0.1 and 1.0. An opacity of 0.1 makes the status display color nearly invisible, so that you can easily see through the color-coded item. An opacity of 1.0 makes the status display color entirely opaque. Note that you can set opacity instead of a color .
VIDEO Varying degrees of opacity are set for colors in various priorities on the Status Display window, and the effect of doing so is shown in the model. (Recorded in SDS2 Detailing , v2017.)
any or all or none : This is the display logic function.
' any ' independently evaluates each of the conditions in the priority you are working in and, where at least one condition is true for a member/material in the model, causes that member or material to be displayed as specified .
' all ' evaluates each of the conditions in this priority and, where all conditions are true for a member/material in the model, causes that member or material to be displayed as specified .
' none ' is the opposite of ' any '. For example, if selecting ' any ' causes three members to be blue (when " Apply " or " OK " is pressed), then selecting ' none ' causes all members except those three members to be blue.
Note: For a priority with only one condition, ' any ' and ' all ' will give the exact same results.
Member or Ends or Left or Right . The display item that is to be color coded or etc.. ' Masked ' and ' Opacity ' are not applicable to ' Ends ' or ' Left ' or ' Right '. It should also be used for most bolt , weld , hole or material status conditions.
VIDEO The priority used to color code the entirety of members in this example is priority 3. The priorities used to color code member ends are priority 1 (left end) and priority 2 (right end). This priority order allows members for which all conditions are true to be colored by all three colors. (Recorded in SDS2 Detailing , v2018.) ' Member ' results in the entire member being color coded, masked or etc.when the status condition is true for either the left or right member end or true for the member as a whole.
' Ends ' results in both ends of the member being color coded when the status condition is true for both ends of a member or true for the member as a whole. Only one end of the member is color coded if the condition is true for only that one end of the member.
' Left ' results in the left end of the member being color coded when the status condition is true for the entire member or true for the left end of the member.
' Right ' results in the right end of the member being color coded when the status condition is true for the entire member or true for the right end of the member.
Special cases: For a bolt , weld , hole or material status condition, selecting ' Member ' results in bolts or welds or holes or materials being color coded or etc. You may not get any results when you select ' Ends ' or ' Left ' or ' Right ' for such conditions. It is generally best to select ' Member ' when you want to color code bolts, welds, holes or material.
(Add New Condition): Pressing this button adds a new condition.
The condition will be added to this priority (the priority your cursor is in) and will be a default condition. You should modify it to suit your purposes.
Conditions are independently evaluated for their truth value. Their truth value can be used to color code or mask based on whether any or all or none is selected.

Concrete cover surfaceWithin a priority , all conditions are acted on by the same display logic . The following example has two conditions. Since ' all ' is selected, both conditions have to be true for a member in order for status display to color code that member.
This example of a status priority would, since ' all ' is selected, color code members that have both an auto standard connection and an end plate connection. This priority would find two potentially overlapping situations:1) beams with an end plate on one end and an auto standard connection on the other. 2) beams with auto standard end plates on either end or both ends. If you were to change ' Member ' to ' Ends ', only those beam ends with auto standard end plates would be color coded cyan.

Revision: ' is / is not ' from ' a number ' to ' a number '. This option is for tracking member revisions, not sheet revisions. It can track any range of " Short revision descriptions " that are currently assigned to members. The same number twice (e.g. 1 to 1) designates a single " line " number in Member Revisions setup. The first line in Member Revisions setup is line 0. A number entered here also corresponds to the order (beginning with 0) that a revision is listed on the list box ( 
) for " Short revision description " in Member Status Review .
Example: To line 4 in Member Revisions , CO-4 is entered as the short revision description. In Member Status Review , ' CO-4 ' is entered as the " Short revision description " for two different beams. On this window, for priority 1 in the active status display file , you select a " Revision " range of ' 4 ' to ' 4 ' and ' Member ' and a color and ' any '. When you press " OK ," the two members that were assigned the CO-4 short revision description are displayed in the color you selected.
Member display: The same members are color coded regardless of whether ' Member ' or ' Ends ' or ' Left ' or ' Right ' is selected. Both ends of those members are color coded when ' Ends ' is selected.
Tip: To color code all members that users have assigned a revision to, enter " is not " from ' 0 ' to ' 0 '. This works because 0 is the default revision, and users must select a revision other than 0 to have that other revision assigned.

When ' Yes ' is selected, the condition is true for members that a user has put ' On hold '. A user can put a member ' On hold ' using Update Attributes or the Member Status Review window. Holding a member is usually interpreted as meaning holding a member's detail from release to the shop.
When ' No ' is selected, the condition is true for members that are not on hold.
Example: For priority 1 in the active status display file , you select " Hold status " as the a condition and select ' Yes '. You then select ' Member ' as the display item, ' Blue ' as the display item's color and ' any ' as the display logic function. When you press " OK ," any members in your current view that are on hold are displayed in the color blue. Be aware, though, that if there are other conditions in priority 1, other members that are not on hold may also be displayed in the color blue.

When ' Yes ' is selected, the condition is true for any member that has been marked as an " Existing member ." Existing members are members that exist in the 3D model but are not to be fabricated. Members that are marked as existing can undergo Process and Create Solids but cannot be automatically detailed, nor will they be included on any reports that have to do with cataloging or ordering materials for fabrication purposes. If a bolt is on an existing member and does not bolt to a non-existing member, it will be excluded from reports. Automatic connections can be generated on existing members and on members framing into existing members.
When ' No ' is selected, the condition is true for members that are not marked " Existing member ." All members are not existing by default.
Example: Several members that already existed at a Job site were added to the model as existing members so that the modeler could frame to-be-fabricated members to those members. For priority 1 in the active status display file , you select ' Yes ' here and ' Member ' as the display item and ' Masked ' as the display option and ' any ' as the display logic function. When you press " OK ," any existing members that are in your current view are made invisible. By thus making the members invisible (masked), you prevent them from being reviewed.

Graphically altered members: Yes or No . Members can be graphically altered (their main material modified) in a full-featured SDS2 program .
When ' Yes ' is selected, the condition is true for members whose main material has been altered by the user of a full-featured SDS/w program -- for example, by cutting the main material or by doing an Edit Material operation on the main material. On the General Information window of the main material for a " Graphically altered member ," you will find that the material is tagged as " User modified main member material ." All miscellaneous member materials that are "
When ' No ' is selected, the condition is true for members that do not have graphically altered main material. On the General Information window for the main material of such members, you will find that the material is tagged as " System generated main member material ."
Example: For priority 1 in the active status display file , you select ' Yes ' for " Graphically altered member ." You select ' Member ' as the display item, ' Maroon ' as the display item's color and ' any ' as the display logic function. When you press " OK ," any members in your current view whose main material has been graphically altered are displayed in the color maroon.
Member display: The same members are color coded regardless of whether ' Member ' or ' Ends ' or ' Left ' or ' Right ' is selected. Both ends of those members are color coded when ' Ends ' is selected.
Warning: USER MAIN MATERIAL -- User modifications could interfere with connection (in the Connection Design Calculations Report or Expanded Connection Design Calculations Report ).
Graphically altered material: Yes or No . ' Member ' must be selected in order to permit this option to color code materials. This option does not work when ' Ends ' or ' Left ' or ' Right ' is selected as the item to be color coded. Materials can be graphically altered (modified) in a full-featured SDS2 program .
When ' Yes ' is selected, the condition is true for graphically altered material. On the General Information window for graphically altered material, you will find that the material is tagged as " User modified connection material ." Under the "
Information " leaf on the review windows of members that have graphically altered connection material, you will find that the box for "
When ' No ' is selected, the condition is true for materials that are not graphically altered system-generated materials.
Material display: This condition affects the display of material. Members must be displayed in one of the three solid forms in order for you to color code materials. Also, ' Member ' must be selected as part of the display logic for this condition.
Tip: To get a similar status display, but for members instead of materials, use " Graphical connections " under " Search ."
Non-graphical main material with user added holes: Yes or No . This applies to member types such as beams, columns, braces, girts, purlins, stairs. It does not apply to miscellaneous members. On stairs, the stringers are considered the main material.
When ' Yes ' is selected, the condition is true for non-miscellaneous members whose main material has holes that were added in a full-featured SDS2 program . using Add Holes. Matched holes generated during Process and Create Solids or Match Holes (also something that takes place in a full-featured SDS2 program) are not user holes.
When ' No ' is selected, the condition is true for members with main materials that do not have user-added holes.
Member display: The same members are color coded regardless of whether ' Member ' or ' Ends ' or ' Left ' or ' Right ' is selected. Both ends of those members are color coded when ' Ends ' is selected.
Purpose of this option: When the user of a full-featured SDS2 program places holes on a member main material using Add Holes , the main material does not turn graphical, and the holes are preserved through Process and Create Solids . This status option gives you a way to color code such members so that you easily identify them on screen for quick double-checking.
User created material: Yes or No . ' Member ' must be selected in order to permit this option to color code materials. This option does not work when ' Ends ' or ' Left ' or ' Right ' is selected as the item to be color coded.
When ' Yes ' is selected, the condition is true for material that has been added in a full-featured SDS2 program using the Add Miscellaneous Member , Add Material , Copy Material or Load Assembly options.
When ' No ' is selected, the condition is true for system-generated material. That is, it is true for material generated during Create Solids , for example, when beams, columns and braces are added or edited in a full-featured SDS2 program.
Material display: This condition affects the display of material. Members must be displayed in one of the three solid forms in order for you to color code materials. Also, ' Member ' must be selected as part of the display logic for this condition.
User assigned piecemarks: Yes or No .
When ' Yes ' is selected, the condition is true for members that have been assigned user piecemarks or which have not yet been assigned any piecemark.
When ' No ' is selected, the condition is true for members that have automatically been assigned piecemarks in a full-featured SDS2 program in the last phase of Create Solids .
Member display: The same members are color coded regardless of whether ' Member ' or ' Ends ' or ' Left ' or ' Right ' is selected. Both ends of those members are color coded when ' Ends ' is selected.

Descriptions: For materials in Shapes Properties , the standard description is the " Section Size " entered in the local shape file . For materials not in Shapes Properties , full-featured SDS2 programs apply the appropriate description prefix from the Member and Material Piecemarking window in setup.
Material display: For materials to be color coded or masked or made translucent, members must be displayed in a solid form. This is also required for the selection of ' Materials ' or ' Connection components ' using Status Select or the ' By Status Display ' selection filter.

When ' Left ' is selected, the left ends of members that have the specific user defined connection on its left end are color coded.
More about the display logic in the example: If, in the example shown above, ' any ' were changed to ' all ', the statement would never be true since a member end can only have one user defined connection assigned to it at any one time. However, if ' Ends ' was then changed to ' Member '' along with ' any ' changed to ' all ', the statement would be true when a member has a user defined connection named EndPlate1 on its one end and a user defined connection named EndPlate2 on its other end.

| This example of a status priority would, since ' all ' is selected, color code members that have both an auto standard connection and an end plate connection. This priority would find two overlapping situations:1) beams with an end plate on one end and an auto standard connection on the other. 2) beams with auto standard end plates on either end or both ends. |
<When ' Yes ' is selected, the condition may be true for members on whose review windows the " Input connection type " is ' Auto standard ." Beams and columns and joists can have auto standard connections. When ' Member ' is selected as the item to be color coded , members with auto standard connections (either end) are color coded. When ' Ends ' is selected, only those member ends that have an auto standard connection are color coded. When ' Left ' is selected, the left ends of members that have an auto standard connection on its left end are color coded.
When ' No ' is selected, the condition is true (regardless of whether ' Member ' or ' Ends ' or ' Left ' or ' Right ' is selected) for members on whose review windows the " input connection type " is a choice other than ' Auto standard ' on both ends. It also is true for miscellaneous members and custom members.

Auto beam moment: Yes or No . So long as the display logic function is a choice other than " none ," an auto beam moment condition (' Yes ' or ' No ') is able to color code beams only. The ends of beams can be color coded, but not masked.
Priority 1 color codes the ends of beams that have an auto moment load. Priority 2 color codes the ends of beams with a user-entered " Moment load ." When ' Yes ' is selected, the condition may be true for beams with a non-zero " Moment load " that is set to "
When ' No ' is selected, the condition is true for beams with non-zero " Moment load " that is set to "
Note: A beam has a non-zero " Moment load " when the " Moment type " is ' Bolted ' or ' Welded '. The " Moment load " is calculated regardless of whether the connection passes or fails.
