----
At the first opening of BuildingTclViewer there are three options:
[[BuildingTclViewer Documentation|Return to BuildingTclViewer Documentation]]
*'''New'''  -- Start the input file from scratch
</noinclude>
*'''Load''' (Recommended) -- Load an existing BuildingTcl script.
*'''Exit''' -- Exit program without saving to user-specified input file.
 
Once an input file has been selected, more options are available to the user:
 
[[Image:BuildingTclViewerMoreFileMenu.JPG|link=BuildingTclViewer User Manual|All File-Menu Options]]
 
*'''View $Filename'''  -- View the input file. In the current relase, there are no editing feature
*'''Reload & Source $Filename''' -- Clear memory, reload filename and source it -- this will undo all changes that had been made in the viewer since the last save
*'''Source additional File''' -- Source additional BuildingTcl script without clearing the memory
 
 
Once a new file is created or an existing one is opened, the BuildingTclViewer menus serve the same purpose:
*create and/or edit input
*run selected load-combination analyses on selected models and automatically post-process the data
*view and save post-processed analysis results.
