RISAFloor,
New
RISAFloor
is
a
design
program
in
which
it
takes
basic
shape
criteria
about
your
beam
or
column
members
and
then
selects
an
optimal
size
to
meet
strength
and
serviceability
criteria.
However,
the
program
can
just
as
easily
perform
a
design
check
for
an
as-built
condition
by
defining
specific
member
sizes.
To
perform
an
as-built
design
check,
the
first
step
is
to
model
the
columns
and
beams
in
the
structure
using
one
of
the
existing
Shape
Groups.
Next
define
specific
shapes
for
each
member
in
the
model
either
graphically
or
from
the
spreadsheets.
For
a
graphic
update,
go
to
the
Modify
Beams
or
Columns
dialog
and
select
the
size
of
the
members.
You
can
update
members
one
at
a
time
or
use
the
selection
state
to
update
all
selected.
This
can
also
be
done
from
the
spreadsheets
by
inputting
the
required
member
designation
in
the
Shape
field.
For
more
information
about
how
to
use
spreadsheets
more
effectively,
review
the
article
below.
Once
complete
you
can
solve
the
model
and
the
program
will
provide
design
checks
based
on
your
specific
shapes…
