Visualising loads

[Anonymous]

I feel there's room for improvement in seeing which loads are applied to which claddings. I've attached a screenshot from a wind load case in a (relatively simple) model and you can see it's completely incomprehensible!

One idea could be to filter the viewport by selected loads within a load case and highlight the panels it's applied to (e.g. I've selected the Windward load, but I can still see all the other loads in WIND 1)

I totally agree!

Visualising loads in Robot is almost impossible!

Checking floor plan (area) loads in the 2D or 3D - with only contour displayed?! C'mon!

Must be corrected ASAP!

Adding the loads is the story for itself. No grips of any kind, you can't even select it for crying out loud!

Things I hate the most in the Robot (among others):

- the way loads are added and displayed

- the way supports are added and removed

- the way how things slows down when you have lot of combinations

- the fact that you can't display what shear rebar you put in beams and their area, ONLY their spacing

- the way provided reinforcement meshes are added + the performace penalty you get when you do that

- the way screen captures are created

- the fact that you can't manipulate much in the Printout composition

Agreed with the above, perhaps loads can be shown by coloour coding. similar to load distribution...

it would require a detailed filtering of the elements of the view according to the display selections by a popup menu and also a function to put the labels with the least interference between them.
