Can't find Eurocode 3 designs and formats

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I just installed advance steel 2016 and i am trying to learn how to use it.

I want to design based on Eurocode (sections, forces, metric system etc).

But when trying to edit the settings of a beam for example, in section and material i can't find the eurocodes sections (image attached) that it belongs to.

Or in design forces, everything is counted with american units (kip) and i want it to be in kN. (gain image attached)

How can i do that?

Thank you

From the images it looks like you have installed the American version. Can you open the Drawing Process palette and check the flag at the top?

If this is a US flag then you have the imperial content installed. Also can you check the project settings to see what units are defined for the loads.

If may need a reinstall with the correct region selected. Where are you based?

nar i think u wont to load up maneger

then u can properly change from american to uk and u can look thow all the units make shore ther all wot u wont  

id put up a screen shot if my maneger was still work / i dont think its the main defaults part u wont, i think its setting or sumet

patista method will work fine  but if u wont to permanently change units or county and there for not have to change etch time 

go to maneger tools

then options 

after that it probily fine but  got back to maneger home page then have a look throw unit selection
