Use Custom Grid Spacing and Locate Origin check box and Edit Grid button. When this check box is checked and the Edit Grid button is clicked, the Define Grid System Data form displays. Use the form to specify the grid spacing and to locate the origin as needed.
Section Properties
Areas drop-down lists. SAP2000 will suggest the section property for the areas in this drop-down list. The section property will apply to all of the areas in the slab.
TIP: Click the + (plus) symbol next to the drop-down list to access the Area Sections form; use that form to add, modify or delete an area section definition. The Assign menu > Areas > Area Sections command can be used to change the section property later, if needed.
