 in the attached model, it has been split into several boundaries within a outer boundary (this was done as the depth is different for each boundary.

&lt;p&gt;http://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/structural_analysis___design/f/5932/p/90116/256930.aspx#256930&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;does this create any problem in analysis or it cant be done in staad?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;( i want the top surface of the plates to be flat, is it possible)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and if i want to live load on it then, what is the &amp;nbsp;procedure?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Parametric meshing - junction of two boundaries of the two model meshing</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/256673?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:37:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6b6eb5a3-94d7-4a10-a13d-8f6f4bb7bb89</guid><dc:creator>Modestas</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The last model which you attached &amp;#39;total section DL7.std&amp;#39; is not meshed well as there are many improperly connected plates, so I was working with your model &amp;#39;total section DL5.std&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The shape which you are trying to mesh is quite complicated, so I would suggest creating meshes for smaller regions. I have attached a model, where I created Mesh Models 7, 8 and 9.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I was creating these regions, I selected &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;each point at the boundary of the region&lt;/span&gt;. I also selected these options:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="http://communities.bentley.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/5932/2350.Mesh-options.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Such options will let you to adjust the divisions for each edge in the region. At first, the correct mesh may not be generated. In such case, you have to manually modify longer edges so that it would be divided into more pieces:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="http://communities.bentley.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/5932/1616.Mesh2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please note that not all division values may be accepted, so if one value gives any error, try to use another one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also note that two adjacent edges from different regions should have same division number.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the same way, all other regions can be meshed. This requires a bit efforts as almost each edge division should be reviewed, but as you a trying to mesh quite a complex shape, this would be one possible workflow. Any better suggestion would be most welcomed from other members of this community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;i even tried the same but still &amp;nbsp;there is a issue as there are many regions in the same plane,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;please refer to the attachment, &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Encl: dxf file used, either model1.dxf of model2.dxf,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When creating a mesh region, try to uncheck the box &amp;quot;Use nodes and beams that occur on or inside the outer boundary as additional density points and lines?&amp;quot;. Once this is done, mesh should be created as you are expecting.&lt;/p&gt;
