Use this option to define a workframe in order to simplify the process of defining a structure model on a plane. The 2 types of workframes available in the software are rectangular workframe and circular workframe.
To begin defining a workframe, open the Workframe dialog:
- Menu: Formwork Drawings > Workframes > Rectangular workframe
- Ribbon: ASD - Model > Elements > Workframes > Rectangular workframe
- Toolbar: Workframes / Rectangular workframe
- Command line: RBCX_DEF_WORKFRAME.
or
- Menu: Formwork Drawings > Workframes > Circular workframe
- Ribbon: ASD - Model > Elements > Workframes > Circular workframe
- Toolbar: Workframes / Circular workframe
- Command line: RBCX_DEF_WORKFRAME_RADIAL.
For Name, either select a workframe created earlier or define a workframe with a new name (enter the name in the selection list). After you have specified the workframe name:
- Click Save to save a defined workframe
- Click Delete to delete a selected workframe from the list.
You can display workframes and axes in created plans and views (such as a foundation plan, cross-section, or elevation view). In order to modify parameters (such as color, length, and line type) for each axis separately, workframes are not displayed as a single object, but as individual axes.
Structure views / plans show only axes that:
- Intersect with elements of a structure model (plus 1 axis more on each side)
- Are positioned within the defined range of the cross-section.
Use the icons on the right to select a mode of parameter definition:
- Click Insert
to create a workframe based on parameters you define in the dialog - Click Inherit properties
to adopt parameters of a previously defined workframe. Select a workframe in the drawing area, and then the dialog redisplays, populated with the parameters of the selected workframe.
