Instead of a long flat list of beams, columns, or other calculators, you can group them with folders. For example, you might have a wind calculator, a seismic calculator, and calculators for beams and columns. To create and use folders:
1

Open the Member schedule

Go to the Member schedule view for your project.
1

Add a new group

Click Add new group and give it a name (e.g. Loads).
1

Add calculators to the group

Move calculators like wind and seismic into the group.
1

Create more groups as needed

Add groups for First floor, Second floor, or any other structure, then drag the relevant calculators into each. The sidebar will show your calculations organized by these groups.

Folders are one level only

Groups in the Member schedule support one level of folders within a project. You can create as many groups as you need, but you can’t nest a folder inside another folder. Subfolders aren’t available.
For large projects, use a numbered naming convention in your group names to simulate hierarchy. For example, 01 — Gravity — Beams, 01 — Gravity — Columns, and 02 — Lateral — Wind. Related groups then sit together in the sidebar, which makes it easier to scan.
