Using the spreadsheet to update the model

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

A number of other columns in the spreadsheet can be changed (albeit carefully) and the changes pushed back into the model.  This provides a useful way to do such things as change all the material names for a given Family/Part, or update marks based on section name.  Columns which are not yellow can be updated in the spreadsheet, then pushed into the model using the Update STR Model from spreadsheet, this includes such values as the stat/end points of members!  Note:  Some items should be edited carefully, and this procedure is prone to crash if erroneous values are entered, eg Section names that don’t exist, or incorrect Family/Part combinations.  This process is also known to skip or crash on curved members.
