Drop-in points of fixtures

Tool(s): Place PHILIPP Fixture

The drop-in point of fixtures for transport and mounting systems is always defined so that it coincides with the surface of the component. The same applies to KK transport anchors that are stuck inside the component. Placing a KK transport anchor at the top level of a component automatically produces the required offset.

In the case of transport anchors of the Power SL system, the drop-in point is at the top level of the anchor and the surface of the component. This makes installation easier as the PHILIPP company recommends placing these anchors at the component top if the components have the same height. In addition to the drop-in point, a short line in construction line format is attached to the anchor's bottom level. This line helps you create anchors that are placed below each other correctly in isometric view.

Tip: Define separate group fixtures consisting of the stirrup only for the additional reinforcement of the fixtures. Select the drop-in point so that it coincides with the drop-in point of the fixture. You can then create the reinforcement based on the drop-in point of the fixture and fully exploit the benefits provided by placing fixtures (height association, for example). The bars are still listed as reinforcement (and not as fixtures) in the element plan table.
