Added reinforcement area mesh drawing view for shop drawings

Last modified by Oskar Kristinsson on 2022/12/07 11:12

This feature can be a game changer for some companies that want to prepare their area meshes in advance.

We have added a new drawing view 43 (Reinforcement Area Mesh) for the following element types

  • Solid Walls
  • Insulated walls
  • Sandwich walls
  • Solid slabs
  • Prestressed Solid slab

Drawing view 43 will draw up all of the area meshes that are in the element based on location, the first one is the first mesh in the mold.

The form of the meshes will be dimensioned as seen above.

The drawing view 43 also has a viewport to be able to add it to drawings, whether it is in a layout on its own or together with other information of your choosing.

Here is an example of what it could look like.

Similar to reinforcement groups you also can freeze views if you have made some manual changes to the view.

To make this flexible we have a row of variables linked to this feature

VariableTypeValue
DWGTEXTAREAMESHVIEWBACK0Desired name for back view
DWGTEXTAREAMESHVIEWBOTTOM0Desired name for bottom view
DWGTEXTAREAMESHVIEWCENTER0Desired name for center view
DWGTEXTAREAMESHVIEWFRONT0Desired name for front view
DWGTEXTAREAMESHVIEWINNERPANEL0Desired name for inner panel view
DWGTEXTAREAMESHVIEWOUTERPANEL0Desired name for outer panel view
DWGTEXTAREAMESHVIEWTOP0Desired name for top view

and some reinforcement variables

VariableTypeValue
AREA_MESH_FROZEN_COLOR_RGB0Given color code for the frozen view, either RBG (like 50;60;70) or index (1-255) code
MESH_CUT_OFFSET0value how much the area mesh should be from the edge (fx. 50)
