Question
How do I model a conical tower?Answer
The cross-section library provides a large number of various cross-sections. For many cross-section shapes, the option of the parametric definition is also available. The video shows an easy way of how to model a conical tower. When dividing this member, the software automatically determines the new cross-sections at the division points.Keywords

Modeling Tapers for Hall Frames
Tapers are often done using cut beam sections. When modeling, however, you have to consider some things for the checks of cross‑sections and stability.

Structural Analysis Models for Download
Download numerous structural models (for example, RFEM, RSTAB, or RWIND files) to utilize them for training purposes or for your projects.
- How can I change the colors of the selection and preselection?
- Can I have generated member loads from surface loads act eccentrically on the member section by means of a plane?
- After calculating the add -on module RF-/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads, the size of my file has increased significantly. The performance has deteriorated enormously. What could be the reason for this?
- Why are my imperfections displayed differently and can I adjust the display?
- What happens to the programs and add -on modules if the network license times out? And how can I increase the timeout?
- Why is it not possible to select a load case in the RF-/STEEL add-on module for design, although it is defined in RFEM/RSTAB?
- Does the load generation also work for curved members?
- What effects can renumbering elements have on the printout report and the add -on modules?
- In my model, some surfaces are displayed in gray, while others are displayed in white without a gray filling. The "solid transparent" display type is selected for the graphics. How can all surfaces be displayed in gray?
- How can I get the member end forces to design the connections?
