Greetings to everyone,

I created 2 seperate .std files that I now want to merge.The 2nd file has structure that would fall in space between the seperate structures in file 1.
I am trying to find if i can merge these files based on co-ordinates/distances from origin so that everything merges perfectly.
Also i need to make sure any numbering/ renumbering works smoothly.
Copy/paste option takes in just the geometry.
Any help would be appretiated!!!

2. Renumber the members of the 2nd file in the same way as above and save the file.
3. Use any text editor such as "Notepad", "Wordpad" or "Word" to copy and paste the items from one of the .std files to the other one.
4. Save or "Save As" the combined file. Start STAAD and open the new file.

2. Then find Renumber / Nodes in the pull-down menus.
