Create the steel structure model

Define the main structural components: steel columns and rafters.

After you start a project, define the axes, and choose a structure type, specify the bearing components of the structure, such as columns.

Next, add rafters to a structure and specify location points for purlins.

Add purlins to a structure and use offsets to align their position with rafters.

After you define a steel framed structure with load varying components, add wall girts and use offsets to align their position with columns.

After specifying purlins and wall girts, add wall braces to a structure.

After you specify purlins, wall girts, and wall braces, add gable walls to a structure.
