Drawing components

Using this dialog, you can specify which drawings will be generated (and in what scale) for selected types of structure elements.

To open the Drawing components dialog, click the icon that denotes a generated drawing in the Drawing layout dialog.

The contents of this dialog depend on the type of structure element for which it has been opened:

Beam

Generation of the following drawings is possible:

Front view (elevation)

Parameters:

View scale

Top view

Parameters:

View scale

Cross-section view

Parameters:

View scale 

Number of sections in a beam 

Section depth:  

- total (section through the whole beam) 

- limited to a specified value  

If you select Sections at characteristic points, the software creates drawings in sections through the beam that are associated with additional points (such as openings or adjoining beams).

Column

Generation of the following drawings is possible:

Section depth:  

- total (section through the whole column) 

- limited to a specified value  

If you select Lower column section and Upper column section, the software creates drawings of a section through the column positioned above or below a given column. Sections through a column may display in a row (next to each other horizontally) or in a column (next to each other vertically).

or Longitudinal / cross section

Parameters:

View scale 

Number of sections in a slab 

Section depth:  

- total (section through the whole slab) 

- limited to a specified value  

If you select Sections at characteristic points, the software creates drawings in sections through the slab that are associated with additional points (such as openings or points on a broken-line-shaped edge of a slab).

Ground beam

Generation of the following drawings is possible:

Front view

Parameters: 

View scale 

Top view

Parameters:

View scale 

Cross-section view

Parameters:

View scale 

Number of sections in a ground beam 

Section depth: 

- total (section through the whole ground beam) 

- limited to a specified value  

If you select Sections at characteristic points, the software creates drawings in sections throughthe ground beam that are associated with additional points (such as change of the beam section).

Raft foundation

Generation of the following drawings is possible:

Parameters:

View scale 

or Longitudinal / cross section

Parameters:

View scale 

Number of sections in a raft foundation

Section depth:  

- total (section through the whole raft foundation) 

- limited to a specified value  

If you select Sections at characteristic points, the software creates drawings in sections through the raft foundation that are associated with additional points (such as points on a broken-line-shaped edge of a slab).

Stairs
