Rerun structural analysis after making edits
Whenever you make a change to the structural plan—whether it's moving a beam, changing a post size, or adding a new shear wall— or when you modify the design parameters, the analysis results shown in the Properties Panel become outdated. To ensure your design is sound, you must re-run the structural analysis to get updated calculations.
To do this, simply click the "Verify" or "Update" button. A confirmation pop-up will appear, reminding you that the analysis may take several minutes to complete. During this time, you can only view the current structural plan but will not be able to make further edits. Once you confirm, Genia will perform a complete structural simulation based on your latest edits. That said, you can spot and abort the structural analyses at any time in order to make further editing.
After the analysis is complete, the system performs a "Pre-check" to verify that your design is structurally valid and free of common modeling errors. If any issues are detected, Genia will alert you with specific error messages and provide visual cues to help you locate the problem.
Problematic elements, such as a beam that isn't properly supported or joist areas that overlap, will be highlighted directly on the canvas, often in red. This allows you to quickly identify the source of the error. Common issues flagged by the system include:
You must resolve all critical errors before you can export the final project deliverables. Once you have corrected the issues, you can re-run the analysis to confirm that the design is now valid.
