Dear visu
first of all you should be prepare your plan in autocad (DXF File usually) and then import in 3rd software like RAM-Concept and ROBOT ( it is available commonly in file menu import/export menu)
then after meshing the surface ( usually you have to define the column location and support and also the joint you need get corresponds) save mesh as per DXF file and then import the mesh in to the ETABS. just be careful the origin should be same
Regards
