Getting started with ILX Structures.
Sign in
Open ILX Structures in your browser and sign in with your ILX account. Your projects are on the server, so they open on any computer.
Your settings
First, open Settings on the Help tab. Pick US or SI units, and fill in your title block once: your firm, your logo and the engineer's name. Every new project starts from these defaults, and a project can override them.
A project and a model
Create a project for the job, then a model inside it. A project can hold several models, and every save keeps a version you can go back to.
The workspace
The ribbon at the top holds every tool, tab by tab, from modelling to the report. On the left, the model tree. In the middle, the 3D view. On the right, the properties of what you select. And at the bottom, the data tables.
The command palette
Looking for a tool? Press Control K and type what you want to do. The command palette finds every command in the app.
Moving around
Drag to orbit the model, and use the wheel to zoom. Fit view brings the whole model back. The View tab turns labels, loads, local axes and extruded sections on and off.
Help
The manual and the tutorials are a click away, and a support request reaches us from inside the app.
