Mounting hooks, lifting bolts dialog box

Tool(s): Slab/roof element design, basic parameters + Modify Parameters, Basic Reinforcement

Here, you define the settings for mounting hooks and lifting bolts. You cannot define default settings for these elements in the configurations.

Right-clicking in the input area of the palette opens a shortcut menu you can use to show or hide the description displayed at the bottom of the palette and the graphics in the middle.
In addition, you can add the currently selected area or parameter to the quick input list. When you click QuickInput on the shortcut menu, you can see only the parameters you have added to the quick input list. There you can remove the currently selected area or parameter from the quick input list and return to Advanced input by selecting this mode on the shortcut menu.

This section provides detailed information on the parameter currently selected. If there is not enough space to display the entire text, three dots at the end of the text indicate that some text is missing. You cannot scroll the description.

To enlarge the section so that you can read the full text, you can increase the width of the entire palette and/or move the line separating the parameter area from the description up.

Offset to longitudinal side, Offset to front

Position of mounting hooks, lifting bolts relative to the panel edges. Enter the values in the unit of length set.
The program defines the longitudinal sides based on the enclosing min-max-box parallel to the span direction of the panel. Taking the offset in transverse direction (a) into account, the program thus obtains the longitudinal axes. The offset in span direction (b) is measured from the point where the longitudinal axes and the front faces or diagonal cuts intersect.
