discretizing a shear wall

(OP)
Ok, let's say I am modeling a concrete shear wall in STAAD.  There is must some way to autodiscretize over a region instead of individually creating all of the nodes and elements manually.  Can anyone direct me how to do this??

RE: discretizing a shear wall

(OP)
OK, I figured out that I need to use a surface element, but I cannot figure out how to apply supports along one side of a surface element.  Can this be done???
