Parameters tab

In the "Parameters" tab, most of pile foundation parameters are defined.

Option	Description
1	Define the pile size. Besides you can define the part prefix and start number, assembly prefix and start number, material, name.
2	Define pile bottom point.
3	Define additional gross length (ordering length). For example, in situations where the initial ramming length is longer than the final length (e.g. piles put below basement floors).
4	Enter length of socket anchor. These socket anchors are not created physically, but the length value will be used for calculating the gross (ordering) length. The entered value is written in UDA “Socket anchor length” of the foundation pile, for showing the value in reports and drawing templates.
5	Define the height the foundation pile head is going through the beam or slab.
6	Excentricity: Define excentricity from component input point. Round off order: For the gross (ordering) length of the pile. Layout point: Define if Layout point is created. Used with plugin Layout point, which can be found in Applications and Components section. Options: Yes, No. Image Layout point settings: Define settings for Layout Point plugin. Cut out beam: Define whether the pile head should be cut in the beam or slab. Options: Yes, No. Cast unit type: Define the casting method of the foundation pile. Options: Cast in place, Precast. Pour number: Define pour number.
	Rotation: Define the rotation of the foundation pile for sloping beams.

3	Define the number of piles.
4	Define the angle to be filled. This option is available if the Total number of piles & Angle to fill option is applied.
5	Define the angle between piles. This option is available if the Total number of piles & Angle between piles option is applied.
6	Define piles to be removed. For examples, see "Rectangular array" tab.
7	Define the distance of the piles from the clicked point.
8	Define the rotation of the piles.
