Sizing Summary Panel

The Sizing Summary panel gives an at-a-glance, but comprehensive, view of how the model has been configured for sizing.

All of the sizing input can be grouped into a few relatively simple categories. However, as the model becomes more complex, the relationships between these inputs can be difficult to visualize. For this reason, the Sizing Summary is a relational diagram with a handful of parent nodes. Nodes can be turned on or off with the checkboxes above the diagram.

Each node can be expanded to see the related entries.

Note: The Summary can be manipulated much like the Workspace - use the scrollwheel to zoom in and out, and pan the view with the scrollbars or by clicking the middle mouse button.
