Stockyard

The Stockyard stores a wide range of pre-built items for inclusion in the project.

 

Description

Items available to be added are organized into groups, e.g. Structural Elements, Project Information, Geotechnical Constituents, etc. Above the divider is a list of all the items included in the currently expanded group.

The group caption bar displays the name of the currently expanded group. This is also be highlighted in the list of groups below the divider.

The Common group includes the most frequently created items (many of which are repeated in other groups).

The divider is used to adjust the number of items and groups displayed in their respective lists.

Surplus groups go into the overflow bar at the bottom of the panel.

Further commands are available via the drop-down arrow on the right hand side of the overflow bar.

If an item is greyed-out then it is not available in the edition of Repute that is running.

 

Insert tab

The Insert tab is always visible on Re/x's Ribbon and provides buttons relating to the Stockyard. Clicking buttons on the Insert tab automatically opens the Stockyard and displays its corresponding group.
