External stack program

External stack program which can be used as an alternative to Allplan. The precast elements are displayed in plan view. You can stack these elements by clicking on them (see descriptions below).

Use the <ALT>+9 keyboard combination to display the precast elements in isometric view (this makes wall elements easier to see). You can switch to plan view by pressing <ALT>+0 (zero).

Enter the number of the particular stack you wish to activate. You can use S1 Next and S2 Back to leaf through the stacks.

F4 *Stack

F5 *Move

'Stack' and 'Move' are two methods for placing panels on stacks: normally, you use Stack. If this is enabled, the program stacks the panels that have not yet been placed on stacks. If Move is enabled, the program stacks the panels that have already been placed on stacks; in other words, the program moves the stacked panels on to the currently activated stack.

If *Beside is enabled, the height of the stack is not increased by the next panel. It is placed beside the previously clicked panel. After you have clicked the panel, this switch is deactivated automatically.
