CUSTOM.ELEMENT_WEIGHT
This custom template attribute sums up net weights of all cast unit and subassembly parts, but ignores all subassemblies whose main part's MATERIAL_TYPE
is STEEL
.
The same weight is wanted to be reported
- early in the project when only sample elements are detailed but the great majority of the elements is not
- in the final stage of the project when all elements have been fully detailed
The CAST_UNIT.WEIGHT
attribute also takes into account the weight of all embedded subassemblies, such as lifting anchors and cable loops. This is not wanted as the reinforcement and embed weights are already included into a little bit exaggerated concrete density.
For cast units with dense
reinforcement, the CUSTOM.ELEMENT_WEIGHT.REINFORCED
attribute is more accurate than CUSTOM.ELEMENT_WEIGHT
.
