Performance-based design is a process that enables the development of structures that will have predictable performance when subjected to defined loading. Performance-based design (PBD) turns the traditional design paradigm upside down in the sense that the required performance is the starting point for the design. Considering the desired performance of the structure and selecting the […]

The technical details and aftermath of the Türkiye Earthquake are uncovered in this webinar.

Before starting a new model, you may like to have the Architectural plan (or the preliminary structural plan) to be displayed as reference to facilitate the creation of axes and structural members. The objects in the drawing are also recognized by the Graphic Editor, so that you can snap to the intersections, end-points etc. of […]

Merge Building Models You can find the "Load Building Model" from  BuildingSetout > Merge Building Models This function can be used to:  Merge building blocks import axis system of another model import foundation columns/walls of another block for creating merged foundations merging floors of the building created by different users. The  “Merge Building Models ” dialog […]

User can find "Linked Building Model" from  Building Setout > Linked Model Manager. Function of Linked Model Manager is to manage link connectivity between merged model project and imported model project. It will only work when two models are merged via “Import Only the Foundation Columns” option. Extra care should be taken when merging building foundation […]
