The Sequence Names window

  • This window opens when you press the " Sequence Names ... " button on the Zone and Sequence window.
  • You cannot add sequence names to the window. You can only edit the names of existing sequences. Also, you cannot add duplicate sequences since doing so could cause the same-named sequences to appear in different zones.
  • Sequence names can be up to 20 characters in length.
  • To add sequences, see " Maximum sequences ."
  • The default " Sequence " assigned to members newly added after you first start up Modeling is the sequence listed in line 1 of this list.
  • See the step-by-step instructions .

#   Sequence Name
The index numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) of the sequences.The sequence assigned to members newly added after you first start up Modeling will be the sequence listed in line 1.  If you change a sequence already assigned to members, the new name will be applied to all members which had the previously assigned name.
To edit a sequence, double-click the entry in the cell you want to change, press Backspace , type in the revised sequence (e.g. '3rdfloor' or 'main_bldg' or 'southwing' or 'potato'). Press Tab to log the entry and go on to the next cell. Shift + Tab backs you up a cell.

Members which had been assigned a sequence associated with a particular line that you edited on this window will automatically be reassigned the new sequence name you entered.
