RISA-3D,
New
RISA-3D
allows
you
to
append,
or
merge,
multiple
models
into
a
single
model
file.
This
may
be
helpful
if
you
model
single
floors
in
separate
files
and
want
to
stack
them
together.
Before
appending
the
files
together,
you
must
be
sure
that
each
file
has
the
same
Units
and
Global
Axes
defined.
Once
this
has
been
verified,
open
a
model
and
go
to
File
>
Append.
Then
choose
the
model
you
wish
to
add
to
the
currently
open
model.
Here
is
a
model
with
a
masonry
wall
structure
and
a
roof
truss
model
that
were
created
in
separate
files,
complete
with
loading,
design
parameters,
load
combinations,
etc.
Starting
in
the
masonry
wall
file,
the
roof
trusses
file
was
now
appended
in.
We
can
see
that
the
truss
model
is
dropped
in
and
the
current
model
is
unselected.
This
allows
you
to
use
the
move
tools
to
align
the
appended
model
with
the
current
model…
