The calculator works chronologically. Thus, the items at the left must be processed first. Only after that, you can move
on to the next tab on top of the page, for example from Project to Configuration.
A red point means that there is still information missing.
The yellow warning triangle shows that there is an auto-completed entry that still has to be checked and maybe corrected.
A green hook shows that everything has been entered correctly.
With an on-line connection of your computer, you can mark the item Calculate loads with a hook so that the loads
are calculated automatically. If you are off-line, for example on the building site, you can also create a quick quantity
calculation. In this case, please remove the hook for the load calculation by clicking.

After entering the Zip code and the Height above sea
level, please click the OK button to send the data to
our server. Thus, you will get the respective load values
for your installation site.
