I only see steel shapes for sections and I only see concrete and steel materials. How do I find wood sections and materials?
Thanks!
Timber sections are not available the in the Physical Modeler yet. You can create a Generic material and provide timber properties to it. For the section size, you can use a Prismatic -> Solid Rectangle to define a timber section shape.

I typically use RAM Elements for Wood, but am trying to move to Staad for everything. Is timber available as a material in the Analysis model? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks again.
Timber material gets created in the analytical modeler once you assign the timber property from the database.
Are there any "preloaded" timber materials or do you need to specify all the values?
Preloaded timber materials are available in the Analytical Modeler. Once you add a timber sections from the database, a material is added too.
