How to use Membranes24.com

There are two different ways to design your membrane structure:

• You can choose one of our DESIGN templates, adjust the required parameters according to your personal demands and let our software do the work. If you want to know how to do that, please click here.
  
  

• Alternatively, you can create your models using Rhinoceros 4.0. With the Membranes24.com-Export plug-in, a file containg the geometry is created. If you upload this file, the structure will be immediately calculated. For more information, click here.
  
  

If you have mastered the form finding of your own membrane structures (shouldn't be too difficult), you can import the geometry into Google SketchUp for postprocessing and rendering. This little tutorial will show you how to do that.
