## Shapemaker

- [Welcome to Shapemaker](https://docs.shapemaker.io/welcome-to-shapemaker.md)
- [What Shapemaker Does](https://docs.shapemaker.io/overview/what-shapemaker-does.md)
- [Shapemaker Features](https://docs.shapemaker.io/overview/shapemaker-features.md)
- [Quickstart](https://docs.shapemaker.io/tutorials/quickstart.md)
- [1. Create a Structure](https://docs.shapemaker.io/tutorials/quickstart/1.-create-a-structure.md): In this step, you'll learn how to create your first tower in Shapemaker. You’ll start by selecting a tower family (like SM-K) and use modular building blocks to build the structure.
- [2. Add Ancillaries](https://docs.shapemaker.io/tutorials/quickstart/2.-add-ancillaries.md): Now that your tower structure is in place, it's time to add antennas, microwave dishes, feeders, and other equipment.
- [3. Perform a Site-Specific Analysis](https://docs.shapemaker.io/tutorials/quickstart/3.-perform-a-site-specific-analysis.md): Site-specific conditions are a core part of Eurocode-compliant structural analysis. In this step, you’ll learn how to automatically generate wind profiles based on the site's location.
- [4. Run a Structural Analysis](https://docs.shapemaker.io/tutorials/quickstart/4.-run-a-structural-analysis.md): With your tower geometry, ancillaries, and site-specific conditions in place, you're now ready to run a full structural analysis in Shapemaker — fully aligned with Eurocode requirements.
- [5. How to Onboard Your Tower Families](https://docs.shapemaker.io/tutorials/quickstart/5.-how-to-onboard-your-tower-families.md)
- [How To Import Discrete Ancillaries to Your Site](https://docs.shapemaker.io/tutorials/how-to-import-discrete-ancillaries-to-your-site.md)
- [Overview](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/overview.md)
- [How We Automatically Calculate Shielding Factors](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/how-we-automatically-calculate-shielding-factors.md): Eurocode allows for reducing wind on ancillaries by adjusting the Ka factor. In this page we go through how Shapemaker automatically calculates the shielding factors for all ancillaries.
- [How Wind Loads Are Applied To The Structure](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/how-wind-loads-are-applied-to-the-structure.md)
- [How Ancillary EPA is Calculated](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/how-ancillary-epa-is-calculated.md)
- [How the Resistance of Steel Lattice Members is Calculated](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/how-the-resistance-of-steel-lattice-members-is-calculated.md): This article provides an overview of the available cross-section types within Shapemaker, details the methodology used to calculate member capacities, and more.
- [Which Standards and Annexes Does Shapemaker Support?](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/which-standards-and-annexes-does-shapemaker-support.md)
- [Shapemaker Platform Overview](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/shapemaker-platform-overview.md)
- [Which design checks does Shapemaker do?](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/which-design-checks-does-shapemaker-do.md): Shapemaker performs a wide variety of design checks, depending on the selected tower type and the design code. In this article, we present a non-exhaustive list of these checks.
- [API Overview](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/api-overview.md): Shapemaker is API-first. Everything you can do in the app, you can also do through our API. This makes it easy to integrate Shapemaker into your existing workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and move
- [How Do We Assess The Site Parameters?](https://docs.shapemaker.io/technical-details/how-do-we-assess-the-site-parameters.md)
- [Frequently Asked Questions](https://docs.shapemaker.io/help-and-resources/frequently-asked-questions.md)
- [Get Demo Access!](https://docs.shapemaker.io/help-and-resources/get-demo-access.md)
- [Feature Requests & Updates](https://docs.shapemaker.io/help-and-resources/feature-requests-and-updates.md): We love hearing from our users - most of Shapemaker’s improvements come directly from your feedback.
