"Labeling" configuration entry

Configuration Half Floor: Design + Hollow Core Element: Design + Prestressed hollow core element: Design + Concrete Slab: Design + Brick slab: Design + Concrete Brick Slab: Design + Suspended Brick Slab: Design

Labeling of elements in Allplan drawings. You can define labels for the precast element and the associative views and for the stop position and the cutting edge.

"Girder labels" + "Building block labels" + "In-situ concrete labels" tabs

These tabs are only displayed when configuring the Suspended Brick Slab design mode.
They are used to provide separate labels for birders, brick blocks and in-situ concrete area for the Suspended Brick Slab if the Manage girders and brick blocks separately option is selected in the Panel Type Catalog for the Suspended Brick Slab. This means each girder can, for example, be labeled with a mark number and the brick blocks can be labeled with the brick type and number. The settings in the Label styles, Mark no. line, Lines 1,2, Lines 3, 4 and Line 5 tabs will therefore remain ignored.

For the girder labels, building block labels and in-situ concrete labels, the labels can be attached in a manner analogous to the labels defined in the Mark no. line tabs. You can also specify Labeling during design and Labeling after design. For the girder labels and building block labels, you can also make use of alternative labels with a label style. The entries are made based on the same rules as those applicable to Label styles and Mark no. line. See both of the sections below.

You can also configure the label position here too. You can choose from the following None, Bottom left, Bottom right, Top right, Top left, Centered, Centered at bottom, Centered on the right, Centered at top or Centered on the left as well as As entered options.

Note: Given the girders are usually very narrow and there are therefore hardly any differences between the different options (when labels are fitted inside the girders), you can only choose the Centered, Centered on the right or Centered on the left options for the labels in the girders. For the other label position options, the labels are placed above or below the respective girder.

For In-situ concrete labels, you have the option to create them As construction lines so that they are not printed out on the placing drawing.

"Label styles" tab

You can define a Label style for precast label in plan here as an alternative to labeling defined using the entries on the Mark no. line, Lines 1,2, Lines 3, 4 and Line 5 tabs. You can select a label style by specifying the path, file number and number of the entry.

Folder:

Specifies the path for the label style. You can choose between Default, Office and Project .

File / label style:

Specifies the numbers of the file and entry of the label style created at a scale of 1:1 in Allplan.

The entries for label styles defined on the Label tab are initially unassigned in the configurations. However, if you define a label style here, any newly created elements from this point onwards will be labeled with this style.

Note: Existing labeling using labels defined on the Mark no. line, Lines 1,2, Lines 3, 4 and Line 5 tabs will only then be labeled using the selected label style if the label was re-created as a result of modifications. Please note there is no automatic conversation of data intended here.

The label styles created automatically (or even manually) will remain in place even if the geometry is modified at the relevant reference point to the respective slab element, unless the geometric dimension has changed. So label styles created automatically are no longer moved to their starting position, or label styles created manually are deleted if an opening is placed in the element, for example. It is only if the geometric dimension of the element has changed (e.g. change in length, change in support width, and so on) that any labels created automatically will be moved to their starting position or labels created manually will be deleted, as is usually the case.

Given the label styles no longer have a mark number line like the element label defined by variables, which is colored in differently depending on the element state or in which additional text is stated, the Mark no. of the precast element and/or Element name attributes are now colored in or highlighted in color. References to illegal element states (such as -G-) appear in the Element name attribute.

Note: It is not possible to distinguish between Labeling during design and Labeling after design with this label style option.

"Mark no. line" + "Lines 1,2" + "Lines 3,4" + "Line 5" tabs

You can specify the scope of the label for the precast element. You can configure the program to display different labels during design and after design. You can make entries for the mark number line and five additional lines.

Pattern:

Entry of text to be used in label. Formatting characters are used as placeholders for variable values such as panel length and as-required. The program replaces the formatting characters with the corresponding values. Enter the formatting characters as follows:

%s: for strings

%d: for integers

%f: for floating point numbers

You can also define how to output strings and numbers:

Example showing how to enter text

Note: The text in label for the precast element dimensions can also be written in American (imperial) units.

Variable:

Enter an arithmetical expression for each wildcard character. Use "," as a separator. Arithmetical expressions can be arithmetical operators, numbers, and variables.
Possible variables

"Views" tab

You can define the scope and position of the label for associative views of precast elements. This label may be selected or deactivated when creating or modifying an associative view/associative section.
To show or hide the labels, click Toggle in the View and Section Properties context toolbar. Use Text preview to turn the labels *On* or *Off*.

Pattern:
Variable:

Entry of text and associated variable to be used in the label (analogous to definition of mark number line of precast elements).

Position of label for 2D views and sections:
Position of label for 3D views:

Select the position of the label. If you do not want to create a label for a view type, select None.

If you enter As entered, when you select this option and create a new associative view or section, the program places the label in the position defined on the View and Section Properties context toolbar using Toggle, Text's anchor point.
If the associative view/associative section is also updated later on owing to a precast element update, the current configured text anchor point will be used again to create the label for this label position option.
Note: The program does not save the position of the label when you create an associative view or section.

"Text attributes" tab

Definition of text attributes for:

Mark number line

Text lines below mark number

Text for support, bar projection

Text for shear girders (half floor only)

Cutting edge text (not with suspended brick slab) and

Text in associative views

Enter the required attributes in the form
H=..., B=..., W=..., F=..., S=..., C=...
. You can find information about the units in the overview of the available attributes. If you do not enter values, the program uses the default values.

For the Font, you can enter the font name (for example, F = Cooper Black) as an alternative to the font number (for example, F = 21). However, you must enter the full name of the font. Make sure you enter the name correctly.

"Stop position/edges" tab (not with suspended brick slab)

Mark stop position with a symbol:

The element edge which would be at the bottom of the production pallet in automatic pallet loading is marked with a symbol in the placing drawing, element plan and in the edit element tool. However, the symbol is only visible when the Smooth edge option is selected in the configuration for editing elements and in the layout catalog.
You can only use the span direction (+/- 180°) to change this during design. You can use the Modify Parameters, Basic Reinforcement tool to change the stop position and cutting edge for each slab element at a later stage.

Enter an Allplan point symbol number and define the symbol size. You can also specify that the size adapts dynamically, that is, the program defines the size of the symbol in accordance with the scale.

Note: When you enter 0 for the symbol number, the program does not display the stop position. Instead, the program marks the Smooth edge with a triangle symbol whose size is predefined. This only applies to the element plan and the edit element tool.

Label edges:

No: The program does not label edges.

Cutting edge: The program labels the cutting edges with the text Cutting edge. The cutting edge must be indicated explicitly on the production pallet.

Edge length: The program labels all edges with their respective lengths in accordance with the settings defined for Label edge length.

Label edge length:

You can use Pattern and Variable to specify the label components for edge lengths and enter the value defining the minimum edge length to be labeled [mm].

Pattern:

Entry of text to be used in label. The variable values (floating point numbers) are entered as placeholders by means of formatting characters (%g or %f). The program replaces the formatting characters with the corresponding values. When you use %g, trailing zeros and the decimal point are only output if this is necessary.

You can also define how the numbers are to be output:

%3g: Returns at least 3 characters (including decimal point); spaces are added.

%03g: as shown; however, zeros (for example, 002) are added.

%.3f: output of 3 decimal places.

%6.3f: output of a total of 6 characters (including decimal point) and 3 decimal places.

Variable:

Enter an arithmetical expression for each wildcard character. Use "," as a separator. Arithmetical expressions can be arithmetical operators, numbers, and variables.
You can use the Lae variable for the edge length.

Example

You want to label edge length with l=xx.x cm.

In the "Pattern" line, enter l=%.1f cm
entry in "Variable" line: Lae/10 (converts mm to cm)
