External program, calculate outer-outer

Module(s): Process Planning

The Calculate Outer-Outer external program calculates the building floor area. The calculation takes into account any recesses present that are larger than 1m² in area. The billing of the slab panels can be based on this calculation.

The automatic creation of a list (surface list) and a layout plan shows the surfaces taken into the calculation in an easy-to-follow way.

Calculate Outer-Outer is in the Production Planning Precast Concrete Units main menu in the Slab module. Select F5 OuterA.

Select one of the plotters. You can predefine up to ‘9 plotters. If you only define one plotter, then no prompt is issued and the plotter is selected automatically. The plotter parameters can be defined in the Plotter configuration.

F1 Plot

Splits the plan area into separate triangles and rectangles in order to demonstrate the calculation of floor area. A detailed output can be printed in the form of a list and layout plan.

F5 *Outline

You can click on any edge of the outline. The program asks you to enter a value. The program magnifies (positive value) or reduces (negative value) the outline of the edge selected. This allows you to influence the calculation of area if necessary.

F8 Area

An area can be entered or corrected manually.

S7 Sector

If you selected the screen driver (monitor) e.g., for checking purposes, then any section can be enlarged. After defining the selection window, you have to press F1 Start again.

S8 Sec.MAX

The previously enlarged section is restored.
