Adjusting the Length of Guidelines
Tips & Tricks
To open the dialog box for setting the grid, select Tools → Work Plane, Grid/Snap, Object Snap, Guidelines, or the corresponding button in the toolbar.
In the "Work Plane and Grid/Snap" dialog box, you can define the size of the grid using the number and spacing of grid points (Figure 1).
The orientation of the grid refers to the specified work plane zero point (Figure 2) as well as the defined rotation.
If the "Adjust grid of model size" option is active (Figure 3), the grid is automatically adjusted to the dimensions of the model.
After confirming the grid settings with "OK", the guidelines are adjusted to the grid (Figure 4).

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 use the COM interface to B. delete all nodes or members in a model?
- Is it possible to keep the results from RWIND Simulation when deleting the FE mesh if I only adjust materials or support conditions?
- How can I change the colors of the selection and preselection?
- Is it possible to make the generated member loads from area loads via plane to act eccentrically on the member cross-section?
- After the calculation in the RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads add-on module, the size of my file has increased significantly. The performance has worsened enormously. What could be the reason for this?
- Why are my imperfections displayed graphically in different ways and can I adjust the display?
- What happens with the programs and add-on modules in the case of the timeout of a network license? And how can I increase the timeout?
- Why is it not possible to select a load case for design in the RF‑/STEEL add-on module, although it is defined in RFEM/RSTAB?
- Does the load generation also work for curved members?
- What are the possible effects of renumbering elements on the printout report and the add-on modules?
