3.2. Drawings for concrete role (SP1)

3.2.1 Harmonization of configurations

The Master Drawings Catalogue contains a tree structure by type of concrete element with formwork, reinforcement and rules configurations for each:

Note: activate the description to get the necessary information.

The name of all concrete element and view drawing configurations starts with "ts_" as in the steel role. Moreover, some views are configured but not active by default to not overload the drawing (ex: 3D View), just display them if necessary :

For the assistants, the name starts with "Tekla_" as in the steel role :

All dimensions are in cm by default and views are named :

There is no longer any distinction between Precast and Cast in Place. If there are embeds, the dimensioning is automatic and the list of embeds appears at the bottom left corner:

For slab reinforcement drawings, 3 views are created: top, bottom and additional reinforcement:

The filter is done on the reinforcement names (contains "INF" or "SUP") as well as on the following user attributes :

New configuration for the precast slabs, on the same principle as the Wall Layout:

Configurations available for junctions (with neighbor parts) :

GA settings simplification :

The floor reinforcement plans work in the same way as for the slabs (distinction between SUP sheet, INF sheet and additional reinforcement).

New pile layout configuration :

3.2.2 Many files have been deleted:

Obsolate concrete cloning templates
Some layouts are useless or obsolete. He now remains:

All old precast concrete drawing configurations.
Some configurations of dimensions, marks, etc....

3.2.3 New GA settings

The new "Plan de coulage" setting display each pour phase in a specific color and add an automatic mark for each pour object. With this setting, it is also possible to use new objects level settings :

3.2.4 Deleted GA drawings settings

3.3 Common drawings

We have changed dim_arrow_width 2.500000 to dim_arrow_width 1.000000 to support new dimension arrow symbols in following files:
*.dim, *.gd, *.ad, *.md, *.wd, *.cud, *.gdd, *.add, *.mdd, *.mdd, *.wdd, *.cudd.

We recommend you do the same if you have these settings in your FIRM.
