Hi, Dear All,
I am new to STAAD.Pro. I have some questions on global axes "Y up" or "Z up" set up.
1. When I open up a model from others, how do I know if it is set to "Y up" or "Z up"?
2. When I create a new model, we can choose "Y up" or "Z up" in configure dialogue. Is that possible I change this choice during the modeling?
3. What does this "Y up" or "Z up" option do? For example, if "Y up" is selected, the self-weight and vehicle load will be applied automatically towards negative Y direction. Is this the case?
I really appreciate your help.
4. Is this setup associated to the model file or a modeling environment option? Is this option independent from model itself?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dong
