The End Support Design View allows you to add or edit support (bolts, shotcrete or pressure) to the ends of your excavation. The End Support Designer is a 2-dimensional view which displays:
The Opening Section boundary
The End wedges, in two dimensions, at each end of the excavation
The end support which has been applied (bolts, shotcrete, pressure)
Remember: to add support to the ends of the excavation, you must be viewing the End Support Design View.
You can access the End Support Designer at any time by:
selecting the End Support Designer toolbar button
selecting End Support from the Select View sub-menu of the View menu.
For the End Support Design View, the following options are available in the Sidebar:
Most of the options in the Sidebar are also available from the main menu (e.g. Support menu) or the right-click menu. The Sidebar simply provides alternative shortcuts to these options.
The option for defining Pressure support on the ends (Add / Edit Pressure) is only available through the Support menu. It is not available from the Sidebar.
