A correction to the mail (in spirit of exactness):
If they were literally treated as the same, the neighbours of A would also be the neighours of the neighbours of B, but they are not. The Neighbours of A are also Neihgbours of B, but not to B's Neighbours.

just to be exact: the connected vertexes will have 0 steps between them, but there will be a configurational step between the neighbours of the first point and the nieghbours of the second point, effectively introducing a configurational step into the analysis. They are thus not treated as 'the same' in a literal sense - as if that were the case, the neighbours of A would also be neighbours of B and the other way around.
In practice, this is a good thing because that step introduces a distance that is usually descriptive of the system being analysed. (Depending on staircase, question, and resolution of analysis you may wish to add additional steps)
For angular analysis, there are no 'extra steps/angles' introduced, the angle deviation is calculated directionally.

I found there was a 'link' in the software. so, here are the questions. What exactly does the 'link' mean? once a multi-level building has a stair case to connect its floors, can I just link the grids in the stair case of every floors and continue the analysis? Hoping for answers Yours Jone Tuson <image.jpg>
