It's been awhile since I have posted, but I have a fun "new" tool released on the website.
You can take it for a spin here:

Retug,
I have a request for the site. For the P&M output into excel, could you add a header with the basic parameters? Width, height, reinforcement provided so the pasting has context as to which output it is for?
Thanks,
Toni
@Toni, this post does not discuss the level of mesh refinement required. The focus is on building an ETABS model efficiently. Mesh refinement is typically evaluated within ETABS by studying the parameter of interest and refining the mesh until the results converge to an acceptable tolerance.
@fpsstructures, I edited your …
Really impressive work combining Three.js with ETABS for a parametric workflow. The ability to quickly generate and analyze multiple tower forms can be a huge advantage during early-stage design exploration. I also like how the structural logic still feels clean and efficient despite the complex geometry.
