RISAFloor Online Tutorial

In this six-part tutorial, we’ll demonstrate the powerful modeling, load management and design features of RISAFloor.

If you are a RISA-3D user, then learning RISAFloor will be simple. RISAFloor shares the same interface as RISA-3D and is easy to use.

RISAFloor provides special tools for building floors and managing loads. It designs beams and columns to resist gravity loads and creates drawings with these designs.

And finally, although RISAFloor works completely as a stand alone product, it also can be combined with RISA-3D as a totally integrated building solution.

We’ll run through the steps of each segment in the six-part tutorial quickly, covering as much information as we can. You are not expected to follow along in RISAFloor. The purpose is to give you an excellent overview of the software. For a detailed, step-by-step explanation of each tutorial, please consult the RISAFloor User’s Guide.

The tutorials are self-running, voice- and text-narrated Flash® tours. A fast Internet connection and a screen resolution of at least 1024x768 is required.
