Rotation angle for slab items and panels
The rotation angle in the slab item/panel properties is used to control the span direction. For reinforced slabs the X direction reinforcement is aligned to the span.
Note: When SpanDirection is switched on in
Scene Content, the rotation angle/X direction is represented by a blue arrow.
Slab items and panels defined by a level
When the rotation angle/X direction = 0
- Span direction aligns with global X
When the rotation angle/X direction = 90
- Span direction aligns with global Y
Panels defined by a frame
When the rotation angle = 0
- Span direction is horizontal
When the rotation angle = 90
- Span direction is vertical
Slab items and panels defined by a sloped plane
Note: In a sloped plane positive Y is always aligned to the up-slope direction, so that
positive X is always perpendicular to the slope.
When the rotation angle/X direction = 0
- Span direction aligns with X direction of the slope (i.e. perpendicular to the slope, as shown below)
When the rotation angle/X direction = 90
- Span direction aligns with Y direction of slope (i.e. parallel to the slope, as shown below)
