- Select Home > Display > Options
Decimals
The Decimals tab allows users to control the number of decimals that are displayed in the results for each type of value/quanity. For instance, if the number of decimals for "Area" is set to 3, then whenever an Area quantity is displayed in the results it will be rendered with 3 decimal places.

Results
Hand Calculations
The Hand Calculations options control how the results in the Report Generator will appear.
Show result summary only
The option hides the calculations while showing only the most important figures and tables, such as the summary table of factor of safety values for all failure modes in the wall section, as well as the diagrams with computed forces corresponding to each failure mode.
Show only critical layers in hand calculations for certain failure modes
Due to the lengthy and repetitive nature of the analysis calculations when per-layer analyses of reinforcements or course layers are involved, a toggle to only show the critical layer for each failure mode is provided in the Display Options.
Hide equation substitutions
Display computed equations in a simplified manner, without showing all the substitutions of values for every variable.
Higher output picture quality
This option renders the images in a higher quality. Note that depending on your printer configuration and computer specifications, it can make generating the PDF or printed report take longer (up to a few minutes).
