## 2.2. Data input – introduction

A new project is created by means of command „File/ New” or by clicking the button „New” , located on displayed toolbar.

Default active window of new project is window „General data”. This window (as every window in program) is divided into three main parts. Upper left includes project data list, lower left – list of „General data”, on the right side there is a window for edition of „General data”. Below you can see the error list.

For the next positions of project data the program screen has analogous layout, but depending on chosen position of project data the contents of edition window and contents of window containing data of chosen project position will change.

Project data have been divides into four main groups, which are displayed in form of a list in upper left window. The list includes an icon and description for every part of project. That are:

- General data

- Partitions definitions

- Building structure

- Calculations results

In the window below there is a list (or tree) of project elements belonging to the group shown in upper window.

Because calculations are performed automatically, some error messages will appear in error list window informing about errors detected by the program in successive stages of project data input. During data modification the messages will be refreshed as the mouse indicator is moved into error list field. Grey colour of text messages on error list means, that these messages can be temporarily out-of-date.

! Messages concerning calculations will be refreshed as the mouse indicator is moved into error list field. Otherwise the messages are out-of-date and do not concern the current edition.

It is also possible to lock automatic calculations by selecting the calculations mode: “Manual calculations”. It is the possible to perform data edition without project converting at every time. Program will refresh results and messages after switching into automatic mode, or after using the button “Convert project” for manually performed calculations. Both options are accessible in main toolbar under the bar “Convert project F12”.
