WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.466 Creating foundations 00:00:05.466 --> 00:00:12.766 In this tutorial, you will learn how to create the foundations for a model. You will create pad footings and strip footings. 00:00:12.766 --> 00:00:20.099 You will also learn how to copy objects with the commands Copy and Copy linear. 00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:25.766 Each concrete part whose cast unit type is Cast in place automatically forms a pour object. 00:00:25.766 --> 00:00:32.599 The setting for Pour management affects how cast in place objects, with the same material grade and pour phase, 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.066 are displayed in Tekla Structures. 00:00:35.066 --> 00:00:38.699 By default, Pour management is disabled when using the Engineer role. 00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:43.466 This means that the lines for overlapping concrete are visible in the model. 00:00:43.466 --> 00:00:47.232 Switch pour management on from Advanced Options: 00:00:47.233 --> 00:00:50.033 File menu, Settings. 00:00:50.033 --> 00:00:55.966 Look for the option XS_ENABLE_POUR_MANAGEMENT, and set value to TRUE. 00:00:55.966 --> 00:00:59.166 This enables pour management in the model you have open. 00:00:59.166 --> 00:01:03.532 The commands that show and create pour objects and pour breaks in the model and drawings are 00:01:03.533 --> 00:01:07.933 only available when pour management is enabled. 00:01:07.933 --> 00:01:11.866 Let's create pad footings along grid line A. 00:01:11.866 --> 00:01:14.799 Switch to plane view. 00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:25.933 Open pad footing properties. On the Concrete tab, under Footing, hold down the Shift key, and select Pad footing. 00:01:25.933 --> 00:01:28.033 The properties pane opens. 00:01:28.033 --> 00:01:33.733 Let’s show the reference drawing to help place the footings. 00:01:33.733 --> 00:01:44.766 Next, let’s modify the properties. Under Position, set the top level to -200, and bottom to -700. 00:01:44.766 --> 00:01:48.666 To place the footings, pick the grid intersections along grid line A. 00:01:48.666 --> 00:01:56.666 Because we set the top and bottom levels in the properties, we don’t have to worry about placing the footings in the correct elevation, 00:01:56.666 --> 00:02:04.699 just to the proper grid location. When all four footings are placed, interrupt the command. 00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:12.466 Commands stay active until interrupted. To end commands, right-click, and select Interrupt, or press the Esc key. 00:02:12.466 --> 00:02:15.232 To restart the last command you used, press the Enter key. 00:02:15.233 --> 00:02:25.233 Pause here to practice what you just learned. 00:02:25.233 --> 00:02:28.866 Next, let's add strip footings to the model. 00:02:28.866 --> 00:02:34.466 On the concrete tab, under Footing, select Strip footing. 00:02:34.466 --> 00:02:41.232 On the properties pane, ensure that the profile is 300 by 600. 00:02:41.233 --> 00:02:45.199 Set the position At depth, Behind, 200. 00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:49.866 Now you can start placing the footings to the model. 00:02:49.866 --> 00:02:53.666 Pick the starting point at the intersection A1, 00:02:53.666 --> 00:02:59.432 and then the end point at A2. Finish the command with the middle mouse-button. 00:02:59.433 --> 00:03:09.399 Repeat this for the remaining footings along grid line A. 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:16.066 Finally, right-click and interrupt the command. 00:03:16.066 --> 00:03:27.199 Pause here to practice what you just learned. 00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:32.166 Let’s finish building the foundations for our model using the copying commands. 00:03:32.166 --> 00:03:37.499 Using Ctrl + P, switch to plane view. 00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:43.500 Before you start, ensure that the Select components switch is active. 00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:47.500 Turn off the switches Select reference models and 00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:50.333 and Grids. 00:03:50.333 --> 00:03:57.833 Now, select the footings by dragging a selection box around them. 00:03:57.833 --> 00:04:02.733 Right-click and select Copy special and Linear. 00:04:02.733 --> 00:04:09.366 On the Copy - Linear dialog, change the value for Y direction to 6000. 00:04:09.366 --> 00:04:13.499 This means that the parts will be copied 6000 millimeters in the positive direction. 00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:19.400 If you don’t know the exact distance, you can use the Pick tool to pick the point to copy from, 00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:22.066 and the point to copy to 00:04:22.066 --> 00:04:24.899 and the distance is filled out automatically. 00:04:24.900 --> 00:04:27.733 Change the number of copies to 2. 00:04:27.733 --> 00:04:29.566 Click Copy. 00:04:29.566 --> 00:04:33.532 The footings are copied to the other grid lines. 00:04:33.533 --> 00:04:35.766 Interrupt the command. 00:04:35.766 --> 00:04:51.199 Add strip footings to grid line one. Select the command from the ribbon, and create the footings. 00:04:51.200 --> 00:04:53.766 Interrupt the command. 00:04:53.766 --> 00:04:58.499 Let's use the copy tools again. Select the newly created footings 00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:08.200 by holding down the Ctrl key while you select them from the model. 00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:13.633 Then right-click and select Copy. 00:05:13.633 --> 00:05:19.766 With the basic copy tool, you first pick the origin for copying along grid line one, 00:05:19.766 --> 00:05:30.166 and then the destination points along the other grid lines. 00:05:30.166 --> 00:05:40.732 Pause here to practice what you just learned. 00:05:40.733 --> 00:05:43.366 You have now reached the end of this tutorial. 00:05:43.366 --> 00:05:48.199 In this tutorial, you learned how to create foundations to a model. 00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:50.233 How to create pad footings, 00:05:50.233 --> 00:05:56.999 strip footings, and how to copy existing parts to speed up the creation process.
