QUESTION
Is there a way of converting a model defined as a "Design Stage" document to a "Surveyed Stage" file so as to calculate the seismic vulnerability of the building before construction?

If you need to convert a "Design Stage" file to a "Surveyed stage" file, simply follow these few simple steps:
1) cancel any previous calculations that may have been launched by pressing the Reset Calculation button;
