When the Options menu > Auto
Refresh command is active (preceded by a checkmark), SAP2000 will
automatically update the on-screen display each time changes are made.
When working with a very large or complex model, turning this feature
off may be helpful to reduce downtime associated with redrawing the model.
When the feature is turned off, use the Refresh Window
button
or the View menu > Refresh
View command to update the on-screen display.
