Advanced features for element plans

Tool(s): Element Plan

Intelligent labels

The following description applies for any additional reinforcement elements (e.g. additional bars, stirrups, meshes etc.) and fixtures.

Manage text

All labels are associated with the elements, and text positions are saved in relation to the element geometries. The text positions are retained when you create an element plan.

Use position of text

Mark numbers of fixtures and additional reinforcement are positioned based on the text anchor points of the corresponding view. This means that the position of the label is used for the mark number when you create and label bars or fixtures directly in an element plan or in the Edit element tool. If there is no label as the element has not been drawn in this view or generated later, it is labeled as usual.

Dimension string index for fixtures

You can specify an index for the parameters of fixtures. The program then creates up to x different dimension strings in the element plan.

Rotate elements

As well as rotating elements in the element plan, which is controlled by the "PalRot" flag (= pallet stop), you can also define the span direction or specify that elements are rotated based on the production direction.

Update element plan

The table, label style and the dimension strings of an element plan can be generated again. If you want, you can also reorganize the mark numbers. This does not affect the arrangement of the shell entities (positions of the views). Manual additions or modifications and change notices are always retained.
When the dimension line update is switched on, new dimension strings, which are generated due to additional elements, are placed beside each other. Tables update automatically. They are divided into two columns if they project beyond the border. As a result, dimensions strings may extend into the views and must be moved manually.

Create new element plan

The entire element plan is deleted and created again. Any changes made in the layout catalog are taken into account. You can decide whether manual additions, modifications and change notices are deleted or not.
