Local x-direction / Local z-direction
Select an option from each drop-down list to determine the direction of the local x-axis and z-axis of the object based on the ALLPLAN Civil coordinate system. See Notes for determining the directions of placements for details.
For finally always receiving an orthogonal coordinate system, the x-axis is assumed to be the leading axis. Based on it an orthogonal plane is established, and in case the user-defined z-direction does not lie within this plane, it is projected into it. Finally, the y-axis is aligned orthogonally to the xz-plane thus created.
DEFAULT
No particular user-defined direction, default settings are used, i.e.:
x-direction SPX (see below)
z-direction Normal to the x-direction in the ground plan
PLTAN (plan tangent)
Direction parallel to the axis in the plan view
CNORM (cross section normal)
Direction orthogonally to the cross section plane
XG
Direction of the global x-axis
YG
Direction of the global y-axis
ZG
Direction of the global z-axis
SPX (station point x)
Direction of the local x-axis at the station point tangentially to the 3D-axis
SPY (station point y)
Direction of the local y-axis of the cross section plane at the station point
SPZ (station point z)
Direction of the local z-axis of the cross section plane at the station point
P1P1P (P1 to P1 previous)
Direction from the defined origin point (P1) at the considered station to the origin point (P1) of the previous station
P1P1N (P1 to P1 next)
Direction from the defined origin point (P1) at the considered station to the origin point (P1) of the next station
P1P2 (P1 to P2)
Direction from the defined origin point (P1) to the defined direction point (P2) at the considered station
P1P2P (P1 to P2 previous)
Direction from the defined origin point (P1) at the considered station to the defined direction point (P2) of the previous station
P1P2N (P1 to P2 next)
Direction from the defined origin point (P1) at the considered station to the defined direction point (P2) of the next station
Parameters
Click the button Edit to open a menu for defining the respective smart symbol or PythonPart.
Select the wished smart symbol or PyhtonPart from the list. Only files of the respective type of the placement are displayed.
When using PythonParts you can additionally edit its parameters in a table as follows:
Name
Name of the parameter of the ALLPLAN PythonPart
Variable
Select to edit the parameter or define it as variable
After enabling the checkbox you can edit the value or assign a variable to it.
Value
Value of the respective parameter
By default, the values as defined in the PythonPart in ALLPLAN are considered.
If the checkbox Variable is enabled, you can edit the value.
Unit
Unit of the value of the parameter
Note: All lengths of the parameters taken from the ALLPLAN PythonPart are output in ALLPLAN Civil in the selected unit for the structural definition (see Settings).
Variable
Assign a previously in the cross section defined variable to a parameter
You can select the variable from the drop-down list after double-clicking on the field.
Note: For this the checkbox Variable must be enabled.
In addition to all variables defined in the cross section you can find the internal variable LSEC (length section) at the end of the drop-down list, which automatically calculates and assigns the distance between the two defined points of a placement in the cross section. Actually, you can only use this function for a parameter in the direction of the local x-axis in ALLPLAN Civil. That means only the options P1P1P, P1P1N, P1P2, P1P2P, P1P2N within the selection for the local x-direction are applicable. Thus, for example, you can automatically adapt the length of a strut between the web and the cantilever to changing geometric conditions (cross section height, cross fall etc.).
Qualified name
Unique name for identifying the parameter in the ALLPLAN PythonPart.
Internal command (informative)
Summary of all defined values and variables, which are delivered to the PythonPart when transferring to ALLPLAN.
Application
Value [0 oder 1]
The generation of the reference points for the placements is controlled by the values 0 (no placement) and 1 (create placement).
In the general case, you don’t want to place the placements at all cross sections of all stations [value = 1]. To control the application you need to assign a variable to the expression. You need to create this variable in advance in the menu Variables of the cross section (Type “New variable” - dimensionless).
After assigning, you can apply the value 1 to the desired stations in the menu Variation of the respective structural member. You can achieve this by directly inputting the value in the expression in the list (where it makes no difference, if you choose the position BACK or FRONT) or by assigning a respectively defined table.
