Settings Tour

Open Settings from the gear icon (or your profile) in the header.

General: appearance, dictation, and account

  • Theme (Light/Dark) and Palette color presets.
  • Design standard: the default building-code region for your conversations (US, Eurocode, Australia/NZ, Canada, Philippines, Singapore).
  • Dictation: pick which microphone the composer’s voice input uses.
  • Account: your signed-in profile, your usage meter, and Logout.
  • Reset Configuration: clears preferences, working directories, and environment paths, but keeps you signed in.

Agents: how runs behave

  • Show advanced stats: adds elapsed time and step count to the status bar.
  • Agent step limit: how many steps a run takes before pausing for your go-ahead.
  • Enter while agent is working: choose whether a mid-run message steers the current response or queues for after it finishes.
  • Live thought panel: show just the latest reasoning or the full log.
  • Formatting standards: point the agent at your standards folder so deliverables follow your templates.

SAP2000, ETABS & MathCAD: software and folders

Each tab shows a working directory picker and the detected versions of that software with a refresh action. Select which version the agent should use if you have more than one. The MathCAD tab adds toggles to auto-open generated files and to overwrite files when editing.

Software: version and updates

Shows the app’s current version, a Check for updates button, and live update status. When an update has downloaded, Update now installs it with a quick restart.

Python: the app’s environment

The app manages its environment automatically. If needed, this tab lets you auto-detect an installation, pick from the ones it found, or download and install a fresh one with one click.

Troubleshooting

Click Continue to launch anyway. If it keeps happening, click Open download page and run the latest installer over your existing install. That resolves a stuck update in one step.
Close and reopen the app. Setup resumes automatically. Check that your internet connection (or firewall) isn’t blocking downloads. If it fails repeatedly, reinstall with the latest installer.
Reopen it from its icon. It resumes on the new version. If it truly won’t open, run the latest full installer from the download page over the existing install.
Make sure the desktop app is open and signed in on the Windows machine with the software installed, and the Client pill is green. If you recently switched accounts, fully quit and reopen the desktop app once, then retry.
The app detects software in the default install locations (C:\Program Files\Computers and Structures\...). Click the refresh action in Settings → SAP2000 / ETABS, then select the right version from the list.
Normal for a few seconds after launch while the client starts. If it stays gray past a minute, check your internet connection and choose Restart client from the pill’s menu, or restart the app.
Out of credits means you’ve hit your usage limit. The banner shows when it resets, and your live balance is under Settings → General → Account. Response interrupted means the run stopped early. Hit retry or send the message again.
