A list of the commands accessible from the Model tab on the ribbon.

Levels Group


Command	Description
Construction Levels	Opens the Construction Levels dialog box allowing you to define the levels required in order to construct your model.
Frame	Create a frame when in a 3D view (when a 2D view is displayed, this is inactive). Only those members that lie within the plane of the frame are displayed. The drop list underneath can be used to delete existing frames.
Sloped Plane	Create a sloped plane when in a 3D view (when a 2D view is displayed, this is inactive). A sloped plane is a 2D View of the model created in a sloped plane. It is defined by selecting 3 existing grid points. Because only those members that lie within the plane of the slope are displayed, this type of view can be particularly useful for defining inclined roofs and ramps. The droplist underneath can be used to delete existing sloped planes.

Grid & Construction Lines Group


Command	Description	Note
Grid Line	Create a straight grid line between two points. The drop list underneath can be used to create grid lines in other ways.	Inactive in 3D Views.
Construction Line	Create a straight construction line between two points. The drop list underneath can be used to create construction lines in other ways.	Inactive in 3D Views.

Steel Group


Command	Description
Column	Create a rolled steel column. The drop list underneath can be used to create columns of a specific fabrication type.
Beam	Create a rolled steel beam. The drop list underneath can be used to create beams of a specific fabrication type.
Brace	Create a rolled steel brace.
Joist	Create a joist.
Truss	Runs the Truss Wizard to define a steel truss.
Portal Frame	Create a portal frame. To create the frame, you firstly define the two column base positions between which the frame will lie. The base positions are restricted to lie on existing grid points. All other details of the portal frame are subsequently entered in the Portal Frame dialog.

Concrete Group


Command	Description
Column	Create a concrete column. The drop list underneath can be used to create columns of a specific fabrication type.
Beam	Create a concrete beam. The drop list underneath can be used to create beams of a specific fabrication type.
Meshed Wall	Create a reinforced concrete shear wall characterized analytically by a mesh of 2D solver elements located along the wall insertion line and extending to all four corners. Non-rectangular and sloping wall geometry is allowed as well as openings. The type of 2D solver elements used is controlled from the structure properties and can be overriden on a wall by wall basis in the individual wall properties.
Mid-pier Wall l	Create a reinforced concrete shear wall characterized analytically by a single vertical pier object of identical properties as the wall section, located at the centre of the wall and extending from the top to the bottom level. Mid-pier concrete shear wall restrictions: must be rectangular must be in a vertical plane openings are not allowed
Wall Opening	Create a rectangular opening in an existing meshed shear wall when in a Frame View. Wall Opening is inactive in 3D Views and Level Views.
Cores	Assign existing concrete members as part of a concrete core.

Slabs Group


Command	Description	Note
Slab on Beams	Create a slab.
Slab Opening	Create a rectangular or circular slab opening.	Inactive in 3D Views.
Slab Overhang	Create an overhang at the edge of a slab.	Inactive in 3D Views.
Column Drop	Create a column drop.
Slab Split	Split slab items into smaller panels for the purposes of pattern loading and slab design.	Inactive in 3D Views.
Slab Join	Join slabs to create larger panels for the purposes of pattern loading and slab design.	Inactive in 3D Views.

Timber Group


Command	Description
Column	Create a timber column. The drop list underneath can be used to create columns of a specific fabrication type.
Beam	Create a timber beam. The drop list underneath can be used to create beams of a specific fabrication type.
Brace	Create a timber brace.
Truss	Runs the Truss Wizard to define a timber truss.

Cold Formed Group


Command	Description
Column	Create a cold formed column. The drop list underneath can be used to create columns of a specific fabrication type.
Beam	Create a cold formed beam. The drop list underneath can be used to create beams of a specific fabrication type.
Brace	Create a cold formed brace.
Truss	Runs the Truss Wizard to define a cold formed truss.

Walls & Panels Group


Command	Description
Bearing Wall	Creates a wall which resists only axial forces and does not contribute to lateral stability.
Shear Only Wall	Creates a wall which resists only in-plane shear and has no out of plane stiffness or load bearing resistance.
Roof Panel	Create roof panels for distributing loads and/or introducing diaphragm action.
Wall Panel	Create wall panels for distributing loads.

Miscellaneous & Validate Group


Command	Description
Support	Create additional supports underneath existing members
Element	Create analysis elements.
Measure	Measures the distance between any existing construction points or intersection points.
Measure Angle	Measures angles between existing points in 2D Views.
Dimension	Create dimensions between appropriate points which can be included on drawings.
Validate	Validate the structure for physical model issues.
