# General Tools

Each structural plug-in is basically at its core a rhino plug-in which allows import, export and manipulation from within Rhino.

Each structural analysis plug-in has a similar approach with some additional tools available for some specific tools available within each.

## Manipulation Tools

### Strip Model Data

**`ggStrand7DeleteModel [object Action = Strip_Data]`**

This command will strip representative model geometry of structural analysis data. You may want to do this when issuing models for co-ordination or to reduce file size.

### Delete objects of Model

**`ggStrand7DeleteModel [Object Action = Delete]`**

You can delete all representative model geometry and structural analysis data by using this command.

### Extract Data

**`ggSAPGetStructText [Object Source = CurrentModel/Visible/Selection]`**

Extract data allows you to generate a structural analysis file of a selection of or all of the elements within the current open Rhino file. The selection can be made from either current model which includes all model elements, a selection of objects or objects visible within the open Rhino view port.

### Summary of selected objects

**`ggSAPGetSelectSummary`**

After importing a structural model into Rhino, you can select a number of (portion) of the elements in the Rhino view port and retrieve a summary of those selected elements.

## Display Tools

### Label Nodes

**`ggStrand7LabelNodes`**

Turn on structural node information within the rhino view port, subsequently you can toggle this on and off.

### Label Elements

**`ggStrand7LabelElems`**

Turn on structural element information within the rhino view port, subsequently you can toggle this on/off.
