Very good.
I will use it.

I have already installed.
But I can’t run the examples.
Give me some erros …

When I try to load models3D.tcl
Gives me: “can read “Floor”

When I try to load: BuildingTclFrame3D.tcl
Cant find: “C:/Users/AASilvia/AAProjects/OpenSees/BuildingTcl_All/BuildingTcl_Release1.5/BuildingTclProgramFiles/LibBuildingTclLibraryFiles.tcl"

ouch!
you have to run the install file that you will find in the first directory.
this file creates three my... files, you need to place those files in the directory from which you run them. might as well keep them there and run the batch file:
mybuildingtclviewer.bat (double-click on it)
and then see where it goes.

can you please search for the string "C:/Users/AASilvia/AAProjects/OpenSees/BuildingTcl_All/BuildingTcl_Release1.5/BuildingTclProgramFiles/LibBuildingTclLibraryFiles.tcl" in the files to see where it comes from? i can't find it in mine.

I can’t find it also.
But the complete error is:

remove it, place the one you created in the install directory, it has your path!

I’m trying to use it really.
But I can’t understand how to define a new geometry.
It’s possible to define a new geometry.
I read briefly the manuals but I can’t find that.

why don't you look at the models in the demo files?
the geometry is limited to a ractangular building frame, of course.
