Quick questions:

I only need to check the Wind/Wave box on only one element if I want the entire model to be effected, right?

Thanks,

-Levi

Yes. Check the box if you wish to change the condition previously established. Wind, uniform load and allowable stress are all similar in this "carry forward" approach with checkboxes.

Thank you!

I have another question. Is it safe to say that "Crest Distance" more or less the average radios of a hill? The help window says it "Specifies the distance upwind of crest to where the difference in ground elevation is half the height of hill or escarpment."

I'm trying to develop a form that I can give someone to fill out with all the information I need to make a run. I'm hoping to make the wind load sections self explanatory.

Thanks,

-Levi
