RISA-3D,
RISAFloor,
New,
Shape,
RISASection
There
are
multiple
options
in
RISA-3D
and
RISAFloor
to
create
a
custom
shape
not
available
in
the
program
databases.
The
first,
is
to
utilize
RISASection
in
order
to
create
cross-sections,
calculate
section
properties
and
import
the
shape
directly
into
RISA-3D.
For
more
information
on
integrating
RISASection
and
RISA-3D,
read
the
article
below:
In
addition
to
using
RISASection,
a
custom
shape
can
be
added
directly
to
RISA-3D.
The
type
of
shape
you
create
depends
on
if
you
want
a
code
check
for
your
section
or
you’re
more

in
the

and
don’t
require
a
code
check.

type
of
material
and
shape
type
is
also
a
factor
in
how
you
create
a
custom
shape.
We
will
explore
the
available
options
below.

you

a
built-up
section
including
a
wide
flange
with
a
channel.
You
would
like
a
code
check
on
the
section
based
on
the
wide-flange.
Open
up
your
shape
selection
dialog
box
from
the
Properties
Panel
and
then
choose
Assign
Shape
