how to model an opening in shear wall in ETABS

[ubnixer]

I know ETABS has opening model for window and door on walls, however, I can not change the size of these openings. My door opening is much larger than the default size given by ETABS. So, seems I have to model it by myself. Anybody knows how to model it? Thanks.

There is a "watch & learn" movie about that very topic. There is a re-sizing tool on the ETABS drawing toolbar to help re-size openings. Here's a link to those watch & learn movies.
