I am modelling one wall in STAAD.Pro. But RCDC is unable to read the file. What may be the reason?

 RCC wall or shear-wall can be designed using STAAD Advanced concrete design solution. You need to model the wall using STAAD parametric model option as shown in below link.
Adding Parametric Wall in STAAD 

If you model the wall using any other conventional method, RCDC will not be able to read that as wall and will ignore it.

Then that can be imported to RCDC as wall and can be designed. Refer below link to know the process.
