• To open this window .

The navigation tree is contained in the left pane of the Joist Review window. It makes navigating the window easier. Selecting a section name causes the settings in that section to be shown on the Joist Review window. In the example at left, " Setbacks " is selected and, as a result, the " Setbacks " leaf is expanded (as opposed to collapsed) ( VIDEO1 ). Sections are scrolled to when opened or, if they are already opened, when double-clicked ( VIDEO2 ). To resize the pane containing the navigation tree, drag its right edge. " Show images " (when checked) lets you see drawings that depict the dimensions that are controlled by connection design locks . ( VIDEO3 ) " Overlay " (when checked) displays one section at a time.
