I recently started this software, but I cant find, how to see dispalements of my whole 3D frame. In results-diagrams-deformations it shows Resultant of node displacement? and if I select individual member- object properties..... I see local deflection of member?
So I have trusses, and I need to check, that deflection in Z direction doesn't reach limit value, and top of columns displacements in Y direction doesn't reach limit value.
Which value of displacement should I compare to limit values?
Hope you understand my question :)

To see node displacements go to Results>Displacements. There you should have tabular view of the results. By right clicking on the table and selecting Table columns you can select more data to be displayed in the table.

mhm...ok, I see...so its tabular...I just used STAAD before, thought I will give one picture of vertical displacements in calculations report, but I will find other way how to give the results. Thanks for reply.

Try Results-Diagrams For Bars - Deformation for a graphical display. Don't forget to choose the right Load Case.
