original model and those obects that ill be imported

to onSteel.

Several structural grids can be place on the graphical area to assist the structural model

creation; orientation and documentation. he intersection points of grid lines can be used as

snap points for graphical input.

Spacings beteen grid lines can be uniform or arbitrary.
