I modelled and designed a complicated curved truss on etabs and now i'm trying to get an output of the design forces. I manage to get the tables for all the members, but due in part to the curvature and having to model it as a series of straight lines i end up with a lot of data.

Is there anyway where i can make Etabs just give me the worst case loading cases used for design?

When you print output data, there is an option to print "Envelopes Only." If you select only the design load combinations for the output, this will give you the envelope loads, both maximum and minimum, which are the same as those used internally by ETABS for design.
