Enter the span data

Enter the span dimensions and data on the Span Data page. (The type of data entered depends on which structural system you chose on the General Parameters page.)

Set the span data as follows

  1. Set the length of Span 1 and 2 to 30 ft [9 m].
  2. Set the length of Span 3 to 25 ft [7.75 m].
  3. Set the thickness of all three spans to 10 inches [250 mm].
    Note: To set all the values in a column at once, enter the value in the "Typical" row (first row) of that column. For example, for the step above, you can simply type 10 [250] in the "Typical" row of the "Thickness" column to set the thickness of all three spans to 10 inches [250 mm].
  4. Set the left start width of Span 1 to 11.5 ft [3.5 m].
  5. Set the left start width of Span 2 and 3 to 15 ft [4.5 m].
  6. Set the right start width of Span 1 and 2 to 14 ft [4.25 m].
  7. Set the right start width of Span 3 to 1 ft [0.3 m].
  8. Set the left end width of Spans 1, 2 and 3 to 15 ft [4.5 m].
  9. Set the right end width of Span 1 and 2 to 14 ft [4.25 m].
  10. Set the right end width of Span 3 to 1 ft [0.3 m].
