Load Working Environment

The icon with the little house and left-pointing arrow allows you to quickly load an entire work environment or a portion of it.

After clicking the icon a dialog box opens in which the work layers of the current work environment (previously displayed on the right side of the dialog box) are shown with a toggle switch preceding each. Since not all work layers of a work environment necessarily need to be stored, some work layers may be deactivated (grayed out). Only the work layers for which settings exist in this work environment have a white-backed switch before them and are enabled by default. For a work environment named "Timber Frame Construction," for example, these could be the work areas "Settings for floor plan and wall construction," "Icons for floor plan and wall construction," the "TFC pre-processing files," and the "Tools."

Using the switches you can now determine which work areas should be loaded. Then click "Load" and the files from the selected work areas of the current work environment are copied into the program system. In this process the corresponding files in the working system are overwritten. For example, if you previously had implementations for solid masonry walls in the system, these are now "deleted" and replaced by implementations for timber frame walls.
