Labeling of elements in Allplan drawings. You can define labels for the precast element and the associative views as well as for the stop position and the cutting edge.
'Mark no. line' + 'Lines 1,2' + 'Lines 3,4' + 'Line 5' tabs
You can specify the scope of the label for the precast element. Separate settings are available for the representation during design and after design. You can make entries for the mark number line and five additional lines.
Pattern:
Entry of text to be used in label. Formatting characters are used as placeholders for variable values such as element length and width. The program replaces the formatting characters with the corresponding values. Enter the formatting characters as follows:
%s: for strings
%d: for integers
%f: for floating point numbers
You can also define how strings and numbers are output:
%10s: output of 10 characters minimum (with blanks).
%-10s: as above, left-aligned.
When you enter a point (".") between "%" and the number, the resulting string is truncated to the number specified.
For example, entering %.4s changes the "1234567" string to "1234".
%3d: output of 3 characters minimum (with blanks).
%03d: as above; however, zeros (e.g. 002) are added.
%.3f: output of 3 decimal places.
%6.3f: output of a total of 6 characters (including decimal point) and 3 decimal places.
Example showing how to enter text
Variable:
Enter an arithmetical expression for each wildcard. The ',' character is used as a separator. Arithmetical expressions can be arithmetical operators, numbers and variables.
Possible variables
'Views' tab
You can define the scope and position of the label for associative views of precast elements.
Pattern:
Variable:
Entry of text and associated variable to be used in the label (analogous to definition of mark number line of precast elements).
Position of label for 2D views and sections:
Position of label for 3D views:
Select the position of the label. If you do not want to create a label for a view type, select None.
'Text attributes' tab
Definition of text attributes for:
Mark number line
Text lines below mark number
Text for support/bar overlap
Text for shear girders (half floor only)
Text for cutting edges (not with TT slab and suspended brick slab)
Text for topping slab overlap (TT slab only)
Text in associative views
Enter the required attributes as follows:
H=..., W=..., A=..., F=..., P=..., C=...
. Information on the units is provided in the overview of the available attributes. If you do not enter values, the defaults are used.
'Stop position/cutting edge' tab (not with suspended brick slab)
Mark stop position with a symbol:
The element edge which would be at the bottom of the production pallet in automatic pallet loading is marked with a symbol in the placing drawing, element plan and in the edit element tool. However, the symbol is only displayed when the Smooth edge option is selected in the configuration for editing elements and in the layout catalog.
You can only use the span direction (+/- 180°) to change this during the design calculation process. You can use the 
Modify Parameters, Basic Reinforcement tool to change the stop position and cutting edge for each slab element at a later stage.
Enter an Allplan point symbol number and define the symbol size. You can also specify that the size adapts dynamically, that is, the program sets the size of the symbol in accordance with the scale.
When you enter 0" for the symbol number, the stop position is not displayed. Instead, the Smooth edge is marked with a triangle symbol whose size cannot be defined. This only applies to the element plan and the edit element tool.
Label edges:
No: edges are not labeled.
Cutting edge (not with TT slab): the cutting edges are labeled with the text Cutting edge. The cutting edge must be indicated explicitly on the production pallet.
Topping slab overlap (TT slab only): the topping slab overlap of fitted panels is labeled for TT slabs.
Edge length: all edges are labeled with their respective length in accordance with the settings defined for Label edge length.
Label edge length:
You can use Pattern and Variable to specify the label components for edge lengths as well as enter the value defining the minimum edge length to be labeled [mm].
Pattern:
Entry of text to be used in label. The variable values (floating point numbers) are entered as placeholders using formatting characters (%g and/or %f). The program replaces the formatting characters with the corresponding values. When you use %g, trailing zeros and the decimal point are only output if this is necessary.
You can also define how the numbers are to be output:
%3g: output of at least 3 characters (including decimal point); blanks are added.
as above; however, zeros (e.g. 002) are added.
%.3f: output of 3 decimal places.
%6.3f: output of a total of 6 characters (including decimal point) and 3 decimal places.
Variable:
Enter an arithmetical expression for each wildcard. The ',' character is used as a separator. Arithmetical expressions can be arithmetical operators, numbers and variables.
You can use the Lae variable for the edge length.
Example
You want to label edge length with l=xx.x cm.
Entry in "Pattern" line: l=%.1f cm
Entry in ”Variable” line: Lae/10 (conversion of mm to cm)
