The Structural ribbon contains Structural physical/analytical member placement tools, automated steel truss, joist and girder placement tools, and Architectural discipline and Building Common Tools relevant to Structural workflows.

You can access the following Structural discipline design tools here:

• Grid Systems – Access the Grid Systems tool to create grid systems for column placement.
• Steel Framing Tools – Place steel columns, steel beams, steel member framing and steel purlins.
• Steel Bracing Tools – Place steel cladding and vertical, horizontal, X and K steel bracing.
• Steel Structure Tools – Access tools that automate the assembly and placement of steel trusses, bar joists, joist girders, and steel framed structures.
• Concrete Framing Tools – Place concrete columns, concrete beams, concrete member framing and concrete corbel/haunches.
• Timber Framing Tools – Place timbers (posts, top/bottom plates and studs), and automate the assembly and placement of wood trusses and framing.
• Structural User Defined Members Tools – Generate and place user defined Structural members, and user defined Building content such as base plates and ladders.
• Slabs and Foundations Tools – Construct slabs, place concrete piles and piers, place steel piles and apply Structural data and attributes to non-structural elements.
• Architectural Walls – Place wall forms, make joints and connections between walls, and modify their height, thickness, base height as well as extending walls. Once placed, walls can be promoted to be Structural elements fully utilizing Structural Data and analytical functionality.
• Stairs and Railings – Place stairs, handrails, and extract railing placement lines from existing railings or stairs.
• Analytical Members Tools – Place, modify, rename and remove analytical members.
• Analytical Node Tools – Modify, move, rename and modify supports for analytical nodes.
• Analytical Nodal Loads Tools – Add, insert, merge, edit and delete analytical nodal loads.
• Analytical Member Loads Tools – Add, edit, match and delete member loads.
