After performing calculation (Checks Tab) you can display and/or change stirrups in the Stirrups-Ductility Tab window. In the below figure is shown an example of a column section designed for seismic zone with two hoops and two cross-ties as transverse reinforcement.

Options, text boxes and graphic commands are provided in the dialog box to change the initial proposal for hoops and cross-ties. For each change you make program performs an immediate shear check showing in the upper frame if it is Ok or Not:
 
The commands in Tab bar are (from left to rigth):
