Modeling in Robot Structural Analysis heavily relies on gridlines for accuracy. While it’s possible to model freehand, doing so often results in skewed geometry, which can negatively impact your analysis. Therefore, using gridlines is essential for creating a precise and effective model.
In addition to gridlines, Robot offers snapping functionality to further enhance accuracy. Snapping allows you to ensure that your cursor aligns perfectly with key points, reducing errors during modeling. However, the location of the Snap Settings in Robot can be tricky to find.
To manage your Snap Settings, click on the Tools menu, then select Snap Settings. This opens the Snap Settings dialog, where you can customize how your cursor snaps to various objects, such as gridlines, nodes, or other key geometry.
By adjusting these settings, you can work more efficiently and maintain the precision necessary for accurate structural analysis in Robot.
