Tracking guides helps to input points quicker. You can select reference nodes or lines and input the node by direction and distance.

Absences are a part of model modifiers. They allow defining more groups of members or supports and assign these to load cases. These members will be the ignored (absent) in these load cases. On this way, the assembly situations or transport can be simulated.

Storeys help the engineer to split the structure in logical blocks. You can use the visibility according to storeys, use them in Earthquake analysis to significantly reduce the calculation time, and use very nice summary or detailed storey results.
