Create guidelines with or without a description for the display of a building grid! You can lock the guideline position to prevent accidental movement of them, for example.
Furthermore, you can glue the guidelines to nodes in order to move the glued nodes as well. That makes your work a lot easier!
It is possible to selectively display or hide various objects such as nodes, members, supports, and others. The model can be dimensioned by using lines, arcs, inclinations, or height elevations. Freely created guidelines, sections, and comments facilitate the input and evaluation. You can also display or hide the guide objects individually.
There are various tools, such as the object snap, user‑defined input grids, and guidelines, that facilitate the graphical input of structural data. Import DXF files as a line model in order to use specific snap points.
Work more efficiently by freely adjusting the display of your model. You can selectively display or hide various objects, such as nodes, members, supports, and others. Dimension your model by using lines, arcs, inclinations, or height elevations. Freely created guidelines, sections, and comments facilitate you the input and evaluation.

SHAPE-THIN includes an extensive library of rolled and parameterized cross-sections. They can be composed or supplemented by new elements. It is possible to model a section consisting of different materials.
Graphical tools and functions allow for modeling complex section shapes in the usual way common for CAD programs. The graphical entry provides the option of setting point elements, fillet welds, arcs, parameterized rectangular and circular sections, ellipses, elliptical arcs, parabolas, hyperbolas, spline, and NURBS. Alternatively, it is possible to import a DXF file that is used as the basis for further modeling. You can also use guidelines for modeling.
Furthermore, parameterized input allows you to enter model and load data in a specific way so they depend on certain variables.
Elements can be divided or attached to other objects graphically. SHAPE-THIN automatically divides the elements and provides for an uninterrupted shear flow by introducing dummy elements. In the case of dummy elements, you can define a specific thickness to control the shear transfer.
There are various tools such as the object snap, user‑defined input grids, and guidelines, that facilitate the graphical input of structural data. DXF files can be imported as line models or used as a layer in the background in order to use specific snap points.
Customize your model to work even more efficiently. You can selectively display or hide various objects, such as nodes, members, supports, and others. The model can be dimensioned by using lines, arcs, inclinations, or height nodes. Freely createable guidelines, sections, and comments facilitate you the input and evaluation. You can also display or hide the guide objects individually.
