Create Material Macro

The Create Material macro can quickly create new materials with industry standard property values.

First download and install the Create Material.vbs file and save it to the folder:

C:\Program Files\Bentley\Engineering\STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition\STAAD\PlugIns\VBS

To load the macro into STAAD.pro use Utilities -> Configure.

And in the Customize User Defined Tools window click New (Insert)

On the new row enter a name, like "Create Material"

and in the file selection box select the Create Material.vbs file.

Then click OK.

Afterwards, to use the tool, go to Utilities -> User tools:

Then select the desired material from the list.

And finally check the properties of the material to make sure they are the desired values.

NOTE: this macro is by default added in the STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition. The same process can be used to add any other macro.
