Straight component

Tools: Wall + Downstand Beam, Upstand Beam + Upstand + Strip Foundation + Profile Wall

You can use Straight Component to draw straight linear components (walls). You enter straight components as you would enter lines in the Design task area.

To draw straight linear components (for example, walls, downstand beams, upstands, profile walls, strip foundations)

• A tool for creating linear components is open (for example, Wall or Strip Foundation). You have already defined the component’s parameters.

1. Enter the starting point of the component.
   

   • Haz clic en el punto.
   • Alinea los puntos usando la función de captura lineal y haciendo clic en el punto.
   • Define el punto creando entradas en la línea de diálogo.

   Sugerencia: Para saber cómo introducir puntos en Allplan ve a Dibujo de precisión.

   Sugerencia: El menú contextual y la línea de diálogo incluye herramientas y opciones que te ayudarán en el proceso de introducción de puntos. Para más información ve a la sección Herramientas y opciones.

   The component is attached to the crosshairs. The preview shows the direction of extension and the position of the component axis.

   The previews of walls are complete with all construction layers and surface elements. The previews of other components do not include surface elements; arrows indicate the direction of extension. In the case of multilayer components (for example, upstands), you can see the layer structure with the thicknesses of the layers. The position of the first layer gets the number 1, which is the same color as the component axis.

2. Check the preview to see whether the component’s direction of extension is correct. If it isn’t, click Reverse offset direction on the context toolbar to change the direction.

   You can change the direction of extension at any time, even while entering components.

   Tip: While entering elements, you can quickly change the component axis by means of keyboard shortcuts or in the dialog line. In the case of walls, you can also change the component axis by means of drag-and-drop editing in the Properties palette.

   

   To modify the component axis in the dialog line, do the following:

   • Use the TAB key to activate Set component axis.
   • After you have placed the start point of the wall, the following options are available:
     • Press the + (plus) key to tilt the wall about the axis.
     • Press the '-' key (minus) to move the axis within the component to the default positions; this is the same as clicking , and in the wall's Properties dialog box.

   You can also modify the component axis using shortcuts.

   The following shortcuts are available for modifying the component axis:

   • Using CTRL+^, you can tilt the wall about the axis; this is the same as clicking on the Wall Context toolbar.
   • Using CTRL+<, you can move the axis within the component to the predefined positions; this is the same as clicking , and in the wall's Properties dialog box.

   In addition, the dialog line provides a convenient way of modifying the component axis using the keyboard.

   To modify the component axis in the dialog line, do the following:

   • Use the TAB key to activate Set component axis.
   • After you have placed the start point of the wall, the following options are available:
     • Press the + (plus) key to tilt the wall about the axis.
     • Press the '-' key (minus) to move the axis within the component to the default positions; this is the same as clicking , and in the wall's Properties dialog box.
3. To define the end point of the component, do the following:
   • Click the end point in the workspace.
   • Enter the x vector or the y vector.
   • Use the tools in the dialog line and on the shortcut menu.
     

     La línea de diálogo incluye las siguientes herramientas y opciones que te ayudarán a dibujar líneas y polilíneas.
     

     Icono	Funciones	Uso
     	No hay ningún icono pulsado	La línea se puede dibujar con cualquier ángulo. Esta es la configuración estándar.
     	Entrada en ángulo recto	La línea solo se puede dibujar en ángulos rectos en el sistema de medición angular actual.
     	Entrada usando la captura de puntos	La línea se puede dibujar a un ángulo específico.
     15,00	Captura de puntos	Configura aquí el ángulo de captura de puntos (solo es posible cuando está activada).

     Tip: When you select and hold the Shift key after you have placed the first point, Allplan places additional points so that they are orthogonal (unless Enter at right angles or Enter using cursor snap is selected in the dialog line).

Tip: Some components like walls can adapt to several custom planes. The wall heights will automatically be computed.
