Geometry of the structure

Geometry of the structure

Geometry of the structure

(OP)
Hi everybody,
My question is for Etabs.Based on the table of coordinates I would like to find on the plans and the 3D structure a point whose coordinates I know or I can input it without looking or searching for it similar to Staad Pro.
I am a beginner in Etabs and everything is new and difficult for me.
Thanks, Michael

RE: Geometry of the structure

Michael, to my knowledge,  the only way to locate a joint with known coordinates is to watch the X,Y, Z coordinates in the bottom right portion of your screen and search for the location that way by moving your mouse around to arrive the desired location.

SAP lets you select by joint label, but with ETABS, the same joint level exists on multiple stories
