Use

Axis Grid for Precast Elements

You can use this tool to create axis lines at any angle and spaced at a value you specify. You can also generate an individual axis.
When creating an axis grid, you can define different display parameters (pen, line and color) and labels for each axis line in the X and Y directions as well as subdivide the grid into several regions and enter different values for the spacing between axis lines in these regions.

Multi-Pitch Roof Plane

You can use this tool to create multi-pitch roof planes without entering custom planes.

Structural Precast Element

You can use this tool to create columns, foundations, beams, girders, stairs, walls, slabs and any 3D objects as structural precast elements.

Join Structural Precast Elements

You can use this tool to connect columns with beams or girders in various ways. In addition, you can specify whether or not the column base is to be connected with the foundation.

Fixtures

You can use this tool to place fixtures in structural precast elements. You can freely define and change the appearance, attributes and parameters of the fixtures. There are the following types of fixtures: symbol, linear, surface fixtures as well as fixture groups.

Component Reinforcement

You can use this tool to create reinforcement for a straight stair with or without landings you have created using the Structural Precast Element tool.

Surfaces and Concrete Areas

You can use this tool to define, modify and delete areas with specific surfaces and concrete grades.

Edit Element

You can use this tool to edit single elements in a special screen display or send output to the printer/plotter. This allows you to draw fixtures or additional reinforcement, create a table, generate element dimensions automatically, or make individual reinforcement elements visible or invisible.

Schedules

You can use this tool to prepare lists/schedules for printing and send output to the printer/plotter.

Element Plan

You can use this tool to create element plans for individual elements and send output to the printer/plotter. As opposed to the edit element tool, manual additions (dimension lines, text, details etc.) are also retained even when you close the element plan window and open it later.

Transfer Element Plan

You can use this tool to transfer a complete element plan including all elements added manually to the layout (symbols, text, dimension lines, legends and so on) to one or more precast elements. You can also transfer reinforcement and fixtures.

Element Plan in Batch Run

You can use this tool to create all element plans for several elements in a batch run. The same settings are used for all element plans unless you have already created manual element plans with other settings.
You can create a list of the element plans generated so that they can be printed together. In addition, the element plans can be saved to a file.

Use

Explode Axis Grid for Precast Elements

You can use this tool to explode an axis grid into its constituent axes. You can then modify these axes individually or as a whole using the Properties palette.

Status Admin

You can use this tool to assign or change statuses and locking states independently of the automatic features. In addition, you can configure the program to highlight the current status and locking state.

Explode Structural Precast Element

You can use this tool to convert structural precast elements to non-associative 3D objects without attributes.

Modify Joined Elements

You can use this tool to modify or delete elements you have joined. You can also rotate or delete individual empty conduits of column base connections.

Modify Component Reinforcement

You can use this tool to modify the current reinforcement parameters of the selected precast stair.

Modify Mark Number

You can use this tool to change mark numbers and precast IDs of structural precast elements.

Label Precast Elements

You can use this tool to label precast elements you created without labels or whose original labels have been deleted.

MWS Reinforcement Group

You can use this tool to combine reinforcing bar placements in MWS reinforcement groups.

Derive from MWS Reinforcement Group

You can use this tool to create to scale, non-associative views of MWS reinforcement groups.

Model Precast Elements

You can use this tool to modify the geometry of precast elements.

Model Connections

You can use this tool to model connections between precast elements. The assignment is always retained even if the modeled objects are within several precast elements.

Transfer Elements

You can use this tool to transfer fixtures and reinforcement to (partly) identical precast elements. You can transfer the selected elements from the source precast element to one or more destination precast elements at the same time.

Collision Check

You can use this tool to check whether selected elements collide.
