Back to top
The configuration is done using comma-separated files (.csv), which can be edited with Excel or any text editor. Each formwork placing tool component for slabs has its own configuration. The configuration files can be located in any of the system folders or in the sub folder named 'Formwork tools' under the model folder.
After installing the latest version of the tools demo versions of the config files can be found in this folder: \Environments\common\system\CIP\
The configuration files are typically named by the formwork supplier or the product families. There can be any number of files, and the files are identified by a certain suffix:
Before the header line containing the column titles you can add one extra line:
DISTANCE_UNIT=MM
When the distance unit is defined using the above setting, all distance values can be given as decimal values in the specified units. The supported units are: MM, DN, CM, M, INCH, FEET

GuardRailRotation | This is the ‘Rotation’ to be used to insert the custom part in plane view. The options are FRONT, TOP, BACK and BELOW. |
GuardRailRotationOffset | This is the rotation offset in degrees.The default value is 0. |
GuardRailDepthPosition | This is the ‘Position in depth’ to be used to insert the custom part in plane view. The options are MIDDLE, FRONT, BEHIND. |
GuardRailDepthOffset | This is the offset in depth. The default value is 0. |
GuardRailStartOffset | This is the offset of the actual start point from the generic start point in the local coordinate system. The offset is given as x, y and z values separated by a space or colon and enclosed in parenthesis (0 100 0). If no value is given, zero offset (0 0 0) is assumed. |
GuardRailEndOffset | This offset specifies the location of the second input point (of the custom part) in relation to the first input point in the local coordinate system. The offset is given as x, y and z values separated by a space or colon and enclosed in parenthesis (0 100 0). If no value is given, zero offset (100 0 0) is assumed. |
The position settings are given in the local coordinate system of the railing.
