ETABS - TUTORIAL
Setting up the Model.
Starting ETABS.
You will be prompted with a dialog box asking whether you want to import existing
definitions. This tutorial starts from scratch, so click the No button.
Click the Snap to Node button to turn of the snap feature. This is
done to allow you to click between nodes.
3D Model View
The 3D view of your model should have
extruded filled-in elements.
Sometimes view changes are not updated
automatically. You may have to save the
file and exit ETABS. Then restart
ETABS to get the updated view.
Now is a good time to save your model,
so click on the File/Save.
