In this SOFiPLUS Features collection, you'll discover powerful SOFiPLUS tools that streamline your structural modelling workflow. From intelligent load application to efficient element selection, these features are designed to save time and reduce manual effort:

  • Load Distribution Areas – Apply free loads to beam systems like facades or bridges quickly and accurately without calculating and assigning individual line loads.

  • Find Elements – Easily locate structural points, lines, or areas in your model using the "Find Elements" tool and take immediate action—zoom, edit, or continue searching.

  • Union and Subtract for Structural Areas – Combine or subtract areas to shape your model with flexibility using familiar CAD-style editing commands tailored for structural objects.

  • Openings in Structural Areas – Insert staircases, windows, or other openings with ease using the "Opening" command, avoiding time-consuming manual modeling.

  • Running Imposed Load – Automate the distribution of loads along a path (straight, curved, or complex) and keep them grouped for easy adjustments later.

  • And More Tips Ahead – This module is just the beginning. You'll continue to uncover helpful commands and smart workflows to make your work in SOFiPLUS even more effective.

Mastering SOFiPLUS doesn’t just save you time—it empowers you to build smarter, faster, and with more confidence in every SOFiPLUS project.
