Group  |
Select this option to define a group, that is a set of structure model elements; a group is a user-defined set of elements with the specified name.

Using this option you can also define reinforcement (common reinforcement for elements of the group, dowel reinforcement and so on) for elements that belong to the group. Typical examples of groups defined from different structure elements are:
To define a group:
Structure elements can belong to several groups. A defined group is saved in the Object Inspector pane; after creating a first group, a new category Groups displays in Object Inspector. A first selected element of a structure is treated as the main element of a group (it is marked in Object Inspector). Selecting the main element is important when drawings are generated for a group. Individual plans are created in relation to the main element of a group. Operations on groups (that is adding an element, selecting the main element or deleting an element) are performed in the Object Inspector pane.

Detail  |
Select this option to automatically generate a detail in drawings. This type of drawing can be widely used in the structure documentation which necessitates preparing drawings (using a more accurate scale) of details of the contact between elements or connections of elements. A detail is a specific type of document; it is created based on another document (a source document). It is usually created in relation to the plan (of story or foundation) or the vertical section. A detail drawing inherits all settings from the source document (see also: Job preferences > Detail, Detail Style). To create a detail:
A circle that indicates the detail is drawn in the source document (the document where the detail location was selected). Note: A detail drawing presents elements to the extent limited by the square inscribed in the specified circle.
Names of subsequent details are unique in the project. A detail is added to the list in the Object Inspector pane; it is under the document it was created from.

Inclination of slab surface  |
Select this option to define inclination of a slab. Using it you can dimension slabs of varying thickness (previous versions of the software allowed defining slabs of only constant thickness). To define inclination of a slab:
An offset value is specified in work units. An offset with the [+] sign is directed up (in relation to the building), while the offset with the [-] sign is directed down. Offsets of edges or vertexes of the slab are treated as machinings of the slab. They are saved in Object Inspector on the Parts Edition tab. Offsets can be deleted from the slab to restore its initial thickness. Menu: Formwork Drawings > Modify > Inclination of slab surface Ribbon: ASD - Model > Modify > Inclination of slab surface Toolbar: Modify > Inclination of slab surface Command line: RBCX_TOOL_INCLINED_PLATE |

Merge elements  |
Use this option to merge elements. To merge elements, select elements to be merged into one element. After performing this operation, the merged elements are deleted from Object Inspector and a new element consisting of component elements displays in their place. The following conditions must be satisfied to perform this operation:
Menu: Formwork Drawings > Modify > Merge elements Ribbon: ASD - Model > Modify > Merge elements Toolbar: Modify > Merge elements Command line: RBCX_TOOL_MERGE_ELEMENTS |

Split elements  |
Use this option to split an element. To do it, select an element to be split; it can be a linear element or slab. For a linear element, select a division point, and for a slab, define a division line.
Note: After performing this operation, positions assigned to elements that are split, are deleted (if element positioning has been performed previously).
