Spatial orientation with 3D model

Module(s): Associative Views + Bar Reinforcement + Mesh Reinforcement + BAMTEC

Method 1: applying reinforcement based on a 3D general arrangement drawing

As the reinforcement is placed in a modeled shell in method 1, the program automatically detects its orientation in three-dimensional space.

Method 2: applying reinforcement based on a 2D general arrangement drawing

The two-dimensional shell in method 2 does not provide the information required for the orientation of the placed reinforcement in three-dimensional space. It is therefore necessary to indicate the position of the reinforcement to the program.

• If no view exists in the document, the program creates associative views and opens the dialog box displayed below.

Tip: Start your reinforcement drawing by placing stirrups in the X direction in the beam, placing stirrups in the -Z direction in the column or area reinforcement in the -Z direction in the slab. By clicking one of these views, you can define the orientation of all subsequent placements in three-dimensional space.

• If the document already contains at least one view, Old / New is displayed in the Input options.
  • Click Old to define the spatial orientation by clicking an existing reinforcement view.
  • If you click New, the dialog box shown above is displayed so that you can define a new spatial orientation.
