1. EXAMPLE OF USING AUTODESK CONCRETE BUILDINGSTRUCTURES

1.1. Introduction

The example below shows how to use the Autodesk Concrete Building Structures program tomake a model of a high-rise building, to generate a model in the Autodesk Robot StructuralAnalysis program, to prepare drawings of projections of stories and to export them to a dxf format.

The following rules will apply in the example below:

any icon symbol means that the relevant icon is pressed with the left mouse button,

{x,x y,y} stands for indication with the mouse cursor of the point with the coordinates X=x,xY=y,y (the value specified may be an approximate value if it refers to a structure snap point)

d indicates entering the d text,

Enter, Delete, ESC stands for pressing the key Enter, Delete, ESC, respectively, on thekeyboard
