A timber section library consisting of Sawn and Glulam timber is available for member property specification.

For specification of member properties, for Sawn timber the timber section library available in STAAD.Pro may be used. The next section describes the syntax of commands used to assign properties from the built-in timber table.

For Glulam timber, member properties can be specified using the YD (depth) and ZD (width) specifications and selecting Combination and Species specifications from the built-in table. The assignment is done with the help of the PRISMATIC option (Refer to TR.20.2 Prismatic Property Specification )
