Create a template for bending schedules or pull-out pictures
You can use Template Editor for creating bending schedules or pull-outs pictures on reinforcement bars and bent meshes, and control the type of information that is shown in the bending schedules.
Example
Autoscaling pull-out pictures
There is a free attribute available for the
PULLOUT
attribute in graphical templates that you can use to define the
scale type. If you set the free attribute ScaleType
to 1 on the User tab in the
Free attributes dialog box, the pull-out pictures will be
scaled to fit the available space in both X and Y dimensions. As a result, the shape
becomes out of proportion, but small segments can be seen more easily. Note that you
can also set this attribute on the Application tab.
A bending shape may look like this if you do not define the free attribute
ScaleType
:
The same bending shape that uses the free attribute
ScaleType
with value
1.
Change the appearance of the pull-out pictures
Tekla Structures uses the settings in the
rebar_config.inp file in the system folder defined by the
advanced option XS_SYSTEM
to define the appearance of the pull-out
pictures. You can change the colors, lines, and dimension unit, format, and
precision used in pull-out pictures, for example. For a list of settings and values
in rebar_config.inp, see Reinforcement settings for drawings (rebar_config.inp)
