I made a few updates to the site, mostly focusing on updating the home page sidebar to have some actual information. The old side bar was just place holder text from the tutorial I found, but the new side bar is populated with the last (3) comments made on the …
A long time coming... a professional level plugin for ETABs, or at least a whole lot better than the python diaphragm slicer.

This plugin will allow you to slice up your diaphragm in …
Having nailed down the initial steps of creating a plugin, I set out to do some real functional work with the plugin. Being naive, I went off the deep end to begin programming the diaphragm slicer, but was quickly met by a sea of syntax …
My first "Hello World" addin for ETABs is shown above. No matter how many times you see it, it is always satisfying to get Hello World to print out.
To make the addin, I followed Jeremy's examples on his website. Big thanks to him and his …
After unlocking the first part of the RAM API, I wanted to create a practical example of how this could be used to automate a few tedious tasks that we perform in the office.

@Toni, this post does not discuss the level of mesh refinement required. The focus is on building an ETABS model efficiently. Mesh refinement is typically evaluated within ETABS by studying the parameter of interest and refining the mesh until the results converge to an acceptable tolerance.
@fpsstructures, I edited your …

Really impressive work combining Three.js with ETABS for a parametric workflow. The ability to quickly generate and analyze multiple tower forms can be a huge advantage during early-stage design exploration. I also like how the structural logic still feels clean and efficient despite the complex geometry.

How do you assess the fineness of the mesh required? More scale or load based?
