Property - Create - Section for beam sizes , name as 918 for 9”x18” beam
- Select section type- Rectangular or as you like- Give width in B and depth
in D –SAVE- repeat to create more section-close
Add to custom section –if you want to save the section sizes for new project
Load custom section- to get the section sizes from previous menu.
Property
- Attach - Section - select the section to be attach from down arrow and
Use locate to attach a single beam, Use grid to attach one continuous grid
and rest for remaining section not attached so far and all for all sec-close.

wall to remove and repeat the same .

Select- Detach from selected wall menu if all the walls are to be removed.
Display
- F4-for display node no, F-5 – for beam no, F-6 – for Slab, F-7 for redraw
Display
- Entities- click flag of wall to see the display of wall, click section ID to see
the display of section on screen.
Display
- List –wall to see the list of wall load.
Floor
 - close to close the floor.

Now you have come in building screen
