pleGood day ; To the expert engineers especially in finite element analysis ; When I have a raft or slab with an irregular shape like the one in the photo attached, I wonder about some points which i need your help: 1. The default local coordinates of the raft/slab are the same as for global coordinates, so when I draw the design strips, shall it be in the same direction of local coordinates or i can draw any design strips in any direction ? 2. If I draw only design strips parallel to the local coordinates theni have to put the steel reinfocement in a way that hard to excute on site since there are areas which have columns in an inclined direction. 3. to solve this issue I think we can draw for some areas the design strips parallel to the local coordinates and for other inclined areas we can draw an inclined design stripps ? Do you agree?

AOA.If the foor plan of a building consists of walls columns,beams etc at different location to make it more complex to draw design strips.can i draw any design strips parallel and perpendicular to each other without taking into account the position of columns, beams, walls etc throught the slab to design it.
