About the Coming ETABS Tutorial

By now, I guess by now you are able to model all the building parts using ETBAS, as long as they are horizontal object. However, for a complete model of a building structure we need to include vertical objects as well. Stairs, and ramps are quite easy with ETABS, though all vertical objects are not as easy as the horizontal ones.


In the coming tutorials , we will cover how to model vertical objects and by then one would be able to model any object which includes but not limited to DOMES, PRISIMS, CYLINDRICAL ones....

I will try to come back with them as soon as possible.

Soyonara for now!!

ETABS torial-3 , Advnaced Structural Modeling (Part2)

This tutorial is the second part of the previous tutorial

ETABS Tutorial-3(1) Video, Advnaced Modeling

In our previous tutorial we introduced the basic how to use common drafting tools of ETABS to model the structure of a building. In the following subsequent tutorials we will look ate some of the aspects of advanced commands for drafting, too draw various shapes of a building structure.

How to produce a good quality blogspot video

I was doing some experiment of how to get a good quality video. I may say, how you produce your video would be very important of how do they appear once uploaded. If you have a very good quality video before upload but a blurred one after upload with black stips at the edge , then it should be due to height:width ratio of your video.

Here is how to overcome this problem. Blogspot changes to 4:3(width:height), ratio all the video uploaded to it. Thus, if your video is recorded with a ratio different than this you should expect the quality affected when changed to this format. So, produce your video in the formats that it would appear to have better quality.

Hopefully I will produce a video on it, to make it clear. In the meantime you may watch this video which I did record during the trial and you may compare its quality with previous ones!
