This document provides instructions for modeling a tall building in ETABS using shear walls. It describes how to define the building parameters, add material properties, frame sections, wall sections, load cases and combinations. It then walks through drawing the columns, beams, shear walls and slabs, applying loads, running analyses, replicating stories, modifying story heights, and viewing member forces. The overall goal is to properly model a multi-story building with shear walls in ETABS.
