Tool for creating formwork for systems that are Drophead Slab Formwork.  These systems are typically comprised of a prop width a head (drophead) that can be released to disassemble the beams.  For the beams, there are typically primary beams that span from prop-to-prop and secondary beams that rest on the primary beams.

After applying appropriate settings, pick two points:

1. Pick first point to position origin of the first prop.
2. Pick second point to define the direction to space the props.

1. The formwork Supplier.
2. The formwork Family (dependent on Supplier).
3. Name of the Head.
4. Name of the Prop.
5. Name of the Base Plate.
6. Option to create secondary beams.
7. Spacing of the secondary beams.
8. Length(s) of secondary beams.
9. Total height from bottom of prop to top of beams
10. Option to slope deck.
11. Sloping height or total height on opposite end.
12. Length(s) of primary beams. 

This section contains information and instructions to setup a new formwork configuration file for the Drophead  Shoring plugin.  The file must end with .DropheadShoring.csv. 

Example: MyFormworkSystem.DropheadShoring.csv

Preliminary Requirements

You must first define the formwork products to be useable with the Formwork Custom Part plugin and to be properly placed the must follow the Required Coordinate System section for that plugin's TUA page.

Units

Before the header row is defined for each parameter, there should be one row that defines the unit.  The format should be:

DISTANCE UNIT=INCH

After the equals (=) sign, use the distance type used for each of the parameter values.  Available unit types include: INCH, FT, FEET, MM, CM, DM, M.

Parameters

All Types (see Type parameter below) require Supplier, Family, Type, Name, and ProductName.  Other fields beyond those mentioned may be required and are mentioned below in the table.
