Split Structural Walls and Floors into Assemblies

Divide structural walls and floors into configurable panels for assemblies.

When you use the precast (Split) tool on structural walls, structural floors, and foundation slabs, you create an assembly of panels, connections, lifters and plates for documentation and fabrication.

Create assemblies from the following structural elements: You can specify what panels, connections, lifters, and reinforcement for the completed assembly.

  1. Click Precast tab Segmentation panel (Split).
  2. On the Options Bar, select Multiple to enable the selection of multiple elements.
  3. In the drawing area, select the structural elements.
  4. On the Options Bar, click Finish.
  5. For floors and slabs, the Slab Properties dialog opens. Select the appropriate floor type for the panels: Hollow Core Slab, Solid Slab, or Girder Slab. Then click OK.
  6. Parts and assemblies are created based on the settings in the Configuration dialog.

Alternatively, you can select structural elements in the drawing area and then click Precast tab Segmentation panel (Split).

On structural wall, structural floor, and foundation slab elements, the Split tool will:
Note: If you the change the wall boundary in any way, the assemblies will update without considering the segmentation or connection rules. To obtain the correct segmentation and connections, select the modified assemblies and use the (Split) tool. The assembly must be selected, not the original wall. otherwise, the wall will split without considering the previous split.
