# Remembering Support Conditions

How to remember approved beam support selections to speed future launches, and how to unlock or revalidate them later.

Regardless of the method used to choose the beam supports, the launch window includes an option to “Remember Support Selections”.

Checking this box prior to the approval of support conditions will allow ENERCALC for Revit to store the identities of the approved supports during future launches of the calculation. This will permit rapid updating of the beam’s span geometry without the inconvenience of repetitive approvals. If supports have been stored, the launch window will not show a “Supports” tab for user approval.

If at any point it becomes necessary to choose new support conditions for a beam, the previously stored supports may be unlocked via the Element Manager. Conversely, if the supports were approved but not “Remembered” during the previous launch, the “Remember” option may be enabled from this same menu.

Note that even when supports have been stored, the launch still includes error checking to validate the previously stored supports. If a previously stored support no longer exists in the Revit model, then the launch will be aborted with a notification to the user.

If the stored supports exists but does not physical intersect the beam, the nearest intersection will be extrapolated when span geometry is constructed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/efr-user-manual/calculation-types/working-with-beam-calculations/beam-supports13/remembering-support-conditions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
