Execute the Joist2D command from the Ribbon icon or the command line to display the dialogue.

From within the dialog, the user selects bar joist type, chord extensions, bearing distance, elevation or section view, end options left/right/both, and joist depth.

After selecting OK, the user selects the bearing point for the 2D elevation view, then the joist is created and the user selects the rotation angle for the joist.

Placing a joist in a section allows the user to specify the number of joists and spacing in an array.

You have 15 days to activate the software. When running in non-activated mode this dialog will only appear once the first time the program is executed in a new or existing drawing which indicates the number of Days Remaining before the program stops. Until you are ready to activate the software, you can run the software in the Non-Activated mode before it expires.

To activate the software, when you open a new or existing drawing a dialog appears prompting you to press the "OK" button to Activate Now. This takes you to the SoftDraft Activation dialog showing your License Code and an edit box for you to enter the License Key.

To receive your License Key, click on the License Code edit box, then copy the License Code. To avoid mistakes, we suggest that you copy it from this dialog and paste it into an email, instead of entering it with the keyboard, then send it to support@softdraft.com

Copy the License Key from the email into the License Key edit box area of the Activation dialog, then click "OK" to close the dialog.
