Entering components in 2D formwork

Tool(s): FF Components

Regardless of whether you have selected the Reinforce with 3D model option or not, you have the following options to enter components in 2D formwork:

• If you have selected a component which can be displayed as a typical detail in one view only (for example, wall corners, slits, junctions, jamb walls, continuous foundations or columns), you can define the dimensions in the placement direction in a dialog box, thus creating automatic placement. Allplan cuts the longitudinal bars to length, creating a view-type placement.
• If you have selected a component whose missing dimension is required for creating the bending shape, you can specify this value in a dialog box.
  Based on this entry and the component parameters specified, Allplan calculates the bending shape, automatically creating a view-type placement.

Note: When you cancel the dialog box, Allplan will not create the FF component.
