General overview

Draw Horizontal Hollow Core Wall starts with a dialog where the user configures the different hollow core elements that make up the wall.

The command continues with a jig where the user can set the desired alignment (Left/Center/Right) when drawing and also rotate the wall.

Offsets can also be added at the start- and endpoint (longitudinal & transversal).

There is also a possibility to return to the properties dialog.

The user then draws multiple "walls" by specifying start- and endpoints.

Draw and Edit

Draw & Edit lets you configure the wall​

• Set the number of elements​
• Set the definition (section) for each element​
• Set the strand pattern for each element​
• Set the rotation (flip) for each element​. In our example above the last element is flipped so that the smooth surface is facing down and so the connection between the hollow cores should be fitting.
• Set the gap between the elements​.
  Note: If you have 3 elements (rows) as in the example above, (Element 1 - Top, Element 2 - Middle, Element 3 - Bottom) then the Gap defined in the third row will be the gap between elements 3 & 2. The gap defined in the second row will be the gap between elements 2 & 1. This means that the top element gap does not change anything. 
• Set other properties, such as prestressing, endcap by using “Properties” from the right-click menu​
• Set model properties for all elements​

Split lets you specify breakpoints and the gap between the new elements in a similar way as the regular “Split Wall” command.​

Note: It is important to select all the elements in the wall when using the “Edit” or “Split” command.
