Hello, I am a new user of Staad Pro. Is there a command that will skip a blocks of input lines of a Staad input text file. I know that by placing an * mark at the front of a line individual lines can be skipped.
I'm not aware of a STAAD command to do it, but you could prefix all the lines at once it in an external text editor.
If I open the input file (*.std) in Notepad2, select the lines I want to skip, Edit>Block>Modify Lines (or Ctrl+M), then type * and it will prefix all the selected lines with a *.
To uncomment the lines, you can strip the first character of each line.
Other external editors are available.
Hello,
In Staad editor, just select the command lines and and use the asterick mark ( * ) before it ; the color will change to green meaning that the lines are "commented out" and Staad.Pro will not read these lines during analysis and design .
I have attached a screenshot for your reference .
No this is not what is best, this requires thousands of loading lines to put manually put the * marks, then then thousand of lines to undo ... Your answer is known, This works for couple of lines, but not good for mass scale.
Hi,
You can use a button shown in the screenshot. It becomes available once you select some text lines in the editor.
Regards,
Modestas
