Layout catalog for precast elements

Module(s): Catalogs

You can use the layout catalog to customize the layout of element plans for your needs:

• You can arrange any number of views and sections in any sequence.
• You can create any number of layout sheets and even use layout sheets of varying format within one element plan.
• The way in which the formwork, text, dimension lines etc. are displayed can be defined separately for each view or each section.
• You can place the title block (labels style), table(s), legend(s) and the views and sections where you want and anchor them to the edge of the sheet or to each other.
• A sheet may contain only the table or legend and another one the views and sections.
• The table and legend always list all elements in the precast element, regardless of the layer status.
• Except for the title block, you can use additional label styles to label the views and sections.
• The program only displays the text or symbols that are suitable for the viewing direction set for the selected view and the valid element type.
• The program immediately detects and marks layout elements that are not defined correctly.
  

  Incorrect definitions of layout elements are indicated by the error icon in the tree structure. Pointing to an incorrect layout element in the tree structure displays a ToolTip with a short description of the error(s).

  To get an overview of all the errors in the active element plan, click Error List in the toolbar at the top. The program displays a separate window that lists all incorrect layout elements in a tree structure, providing detailed information on the individual errors.

  You can also open the Error list when you quit the layout catalog and a message appears announcing that there are errors.
