How to make Staircase in Etabs

 In the last blog I had described about making beams, columns, slabs/roofs in Etabs. But I forgot to tell you how to make staircase. Apology for that. But today in this blog I am going to discuss how to make staircase in Etabs. So before making Staircase first of all delete one side of the slab by single click. But remember one thing in the story side you should have to click "All Stories" so that automatically all slabs will get deleted and required gap and positioning will be appeared.  First click on All Stories After that select one portion of slab   After that go to Edit menu and click on Delete   Then one part of the slab of each story becomes hollow So doing the following steps you can now make the staircase. As for staircase we need hollow section at the top of it, so that it's free to move. In practical field also you can't provide staircase if the roof is covered with slab. Now the main procedure begins for Etabs.  Go to define tab menu and click on Se...

How to edit grid systems in Etabs

 Okk in the last blog I had discussed about Etabs for beginners. You have got at least some ideas about it. If you have not seen it then click here . But here I am going to discuss how you will edit Grids/Columns in Etabs. As I had said by clicking on "Modify/Show Grid Systems" option a new dialog box appears, their you can edit anything. But you can also do it by different way. On the left side in grid dimensions (plan) you can see that two options are available. One is "Uniform Grid Spacing" and the other is "Custom Grid Spacing". Click on the "Custom Grid Spacing" and you see that Edit Grid Data option is available. Just click on that, and you can edit it as you want by giving the required dimensions in X-axis and Y-axis only. Ok whatever be lets come to the topic. If you have done it like as I have shown earlier then follow those steps. And the one who were new to this blog this is just for that. That's why I underlined with BLUE line an...

ETABS for beginners

 Most practically and truly I want to say that this software has crushed my life. Many times I install it and many times it shows license error or automatically gets exit. Once it happened that I downloaded Etabs 2017 and when I put the lserve license in the file location it showed okk and I used it to try any building design. But for a minute or so when I want to save it, a dialog box appears and it gets automatically closed. Nothing I understood in my head nor I found anything interesting. Whatever be that's past now come to the topic. It's been 2 and half years I have ever waiting for to learn Etabs.  So how to download and install this Etabs you will get in the video, I will provide you the links.  Here are the links Here I will discuss how to start Etabs as a beginner or for fresh Civil Engineering students. And this is especially for Indians or the one who studied IS codes. So first when you open the Etabs software it appears like this.  Go to the left corner ...

By irrigation purpose also or by pipe system also.  For treatment of raw water it consists of Flocculation tank, Aeration Tank, Sedimentation, Coagulation and many other source of treatment.

So I had learnt the trick again and today I am going to explain you about that. You can see the image that I had used as Decal on the wall. First of all after creating walls, columns, window, door, ventilator and other required 3D items in Revit, now it's time to bring the 2D plan to 3D object.

Click on Decal command and you will see two options are available.  Click on the Decal Types, and you will see that a dialog box appears on the screen. On the right hand side of settings you will find many options such as source, brightness, reflectivity and so on. Click on the sou...
