General Usage
__________________________________

ReGen is a tool, written in C#, that provides a means for generating results for all Generative Design studies in any number of part files in an unattended matter. This is useful if you have multiple
studies that need results generated. Since generating results can be a lengthy process, it is often not practicle to manually generate the results interactively.

The main dialog in the application will allow you to select any number of part files and then start the process. The controls are simple - Add Part(s), Remove Selected Parts and Update Generative Study Results.
The workflow is as follows: add parts to the list using the Add Part(s) button, then start the process with the Update Generative Study Results. As processing the parts and their studies continues, the dialog will
display the current part and study being processed. When the results for a study in a part have been generated, the part will be saved and the generation of results for the next study in the part will begin. When
all studies in a part have been processed, the part will be removed from the list and the next part will be processed.

Once all parts in the list have been processed, a dialog will be displayed with a list of the parts that were processed. In this dialog, you can double-click a part in the list and a dialog will be displayed
that shows detailed results for the processing of each study. This list will show the same information that the interactive information dialog will show you after generating a study's results interactively. There
is a button on this dialog that will let you save the detailed results as a rich text format document.

- Add Part(s)
        This button brings up a dialog to select a part or parts to add to the list of parts to process. The dialog allows multiple selection.

- Remove Selected Parts
        This button removes the selected parts from the list of parts to process. The list of parts supports multiple selection. Ctrl+A will select all parts and Ctrl+D will clear the selection.
        You can also use the Delete key to remove the parts.
        
- Update Generative Study Results
        This button starts the processing of the selected parts and their Generative Design studies. Once processing starts, there is no way to stop it until all parts and their studies have been
        processed.
