T<\/span>ypical steps for the creation of a building model are outlined below. The forms (dialog) for the first three steps will automatically appear when a new project is defined.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\"Notes\"<\/p>\n
The best way to learn how to build a new model is to go through our comprehensive e-learning tutorials : ProtaStructure Basic E-learning<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The training document can downloaded here : ProtaStructure Basic Training Guide<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
It is also recommended to go through this article <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>: Modelling, Analysis & Design Flowchart<\/a>

1.  Start a new project<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Choose an appropriate template to set up the required design codes and initial parameters then click "<\/span>OK <\/span><\/i>".
    <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The settings can be reviewed and modified at any time during the building model creation via the T<\/b><\/span>emplate Management<\/span><\/b>  tab in <\/span>Setting Control Center<\/span><\/b>. <\/span>(Refer to <\/i>Template Management<\/a>)
