Introduction

This Sizer Concept Mode video walks through a step-by-step example of designing a structural model, starting with unit selection, grid generation, and level setup. It covers column, wall, beam, and joist placement, specifying materials like SPF lumber and glulam beams, along with fire resistance and lateral support settings. The video also demonstrates elevation adjustments for slot members and applies dead, live, and snow loads to the structure.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Set up a project in Sizer’s Concept Mode, including unit selection, grid generation, and level configuration.
• Design structural elements such as columns, walls, beams, and joists, while specifying appropriate materials, spacing, and support conditions.
• Apply elevation adjustments and load configurations, including dead, live, and snow loads, to simulate real-world structural behavior.
• Navigate and utilize key Sizer features to develop a structural model, preparing it for further analysis and output evaluation.
