Save a Corner Detail as a New Detail

You can open a corner detail stored in the edge detail library, modify it and save it as a new detail in the library. You can use the detail in the wall panel design at a later date.

All the layers that are necessary in the target panel, need to be defined in the corner detail. The corner detail can include even more layers, for example pre-defined double sheathings, even though they would not be used at the moment. You can add new layers to a wall of a detail in the same way as to a regular wall: by editing its properties.

The edges of each layer need to be connected together in the corner detail.

  1. Find the model file (*.vxm) of the detail in the Windows Explorer, and open it in Vertex by using the drag and drop method. The file opens to a model window of its own. Customer-specific edge details have been stored in the custom/complibs/structdet_cst folder.
  2. Edit the joints.
  3. Select System | Structural Libraries | Store Corner Detail.

    The program asks you to select the panel and the reference edge.

  4. Select the structure.
  5. Select the reference edge by clicking the middle grip point of the edge.
  6. Fill in the detail data in a dialog box.
    • Library - By default, the customer-specific details are saved in the custom/complibs/structdet_cst folder.
    • Code
    • Description - Displayed in the browser.
    • Browser Path - Folder from which the detail can be selected in the browser. Type the name of the folder in format /folder/ or /folder/subfolder/.
  7. Confirm by clicking OK.
  8. Close the model window of the detail.

Note

  • The corner or edge connection thumbnail image for the browser is created from the view in the model window.
