Frames Xplorer

Description

The Frames Xplorer plugin provides several tools to easily review and edit the properties of rectangular frame sections used in beams and columns of ETABS® models. The app runs within the ETABS® interface, after installation the user can readily access it from the Tools menu. The program includes the following features:

• Automatically add the frame width/depth and material to the section name. If these properties are modified, the user can automatically update the section names to match the new values.

• A single interface to edit section properties such as width, thickness, color, stiffness modifiers, mass, weight and material.

• Quickly edit the properties for multiple frame sections at once.

• Browse through the section properties of multiple sections with a single click.

• Review, compare and edit the property overwrites for all the selected beams or columns.

• Axonometric views that display the orientation of each one of the stiffness modifiers for beams and columns sections.
