Framer
In the dialog box, select the profile labels, profile schedule and profile drawings to be added in the floor plan drawing of the project. Select the tasks to be performed by selecting the LABELS, SCHEDULE or DRAWINGS check box.
LABELS
- Add
- Add labels by selecting the radio button. Pieces with the same material, cross section and length receive the same label. Similar pieces receive different labels, if a different use purpose has been defined for them.
- Delete
- Remove labels by selecting the radio button.
- Base Location
- If you move labels in the drawing from the grip point or by using a text editing function, the labels will be moved on the locations defined in the settings when you regenerate the labels.
- Current Location
- If you move labels in the drawing from the grip point or by using a text editing function, you can retain the location of the labels when regenerating them by selecting the Current Location radio button.
- Check Overlapping Labels
- If the labels are on their Base Location, you can switch on the label interference checking by selecting the check box Check Overlapping Labels. In addition, select either of the following:
- System
- As a default, the label of each volume consists of a prefix and a running number. You can select the prefix by selecting the appropriate option from the System list:
- View
- The appearance of the label and the properties of the basic geometry elements (texts, lines, hatches) used in the label are defined in the label's drawing file. The label library and the label's drawing file to be used are defined in the system settings.
SCHEDULE
- Add
- Add schedules by selecting the radio button.
- Delete
- Remove schedules by selecting the radio button.
- Shape
- The data to be included in the schedule and its format are defined in a format file that you can select from the Format list.
- View
- The method of representation determines the drawing layer, font, color, etc. of the schedule. The alternatives are read from the GEOMPROP in the system settings.
DRAWINGS
- Add
- Create drawing files of all profiles with different labels. You cannot create drawings without the piece labels.
- Delete
- Remove drawing files from the folder determined in the File folder field.
- File Folder
- The folder in the project directory where the drawing files of pieces are saved. If the project id is, for example, Project_1 and the folder typed in the File folder field is Pieces, the files will be saved in the folder ../shared/projects/project_1/pieces. If the folder does not exist, the program will create it automatically.
- Prefix
- The drawing files are named by using the contents of the Prefix field at the beginning of the name, followed by the label, for example FJOIST.R1.vxp. You can type any character string as the prefix by typing it within quotation marks.
- Drawing template
- The drawings are created either by using an application development program or on an existing template. The name of the application development program is displayed in the Drawing Template field. If the application development program is not available, a drawing file with the same name is used as a template. The template drawing is located in the ../custom/picts or ../system/picts folder.
- Filter perpendicular cut pieces
- Select the check box when you do not wish to create drawings of simple, straight pieces without sawing or notching. In addition, you can select the following:
- Delete Old Drawings
- When you select the radio button Remove, the program will only remove the drawing files that have been named in accordance with the current labels and drawing prefix in the dialog box. If there are drawings in the folder that have been created previously, and have been given different names, you can delete these by selecting the Delete Old Drawings check box.
Note:
- You can open the part drawings from the project's document browser. The part drawings are located in the Structural drawings branch.
- If several profiles are presented in one drawing, they can be organized on the sheet by either label, code or length. The rule is set in the system settings in the pce_schedule_set definition of the piece type in question:
- pce_schedule
- PCPIC.SORT [sorting fields]
For example
- pce_schedule
- PCPIC.SORT LENGTH|CODE|LABEL
