What is Element Designation?

IMPACT Element Designation can be previewed in the IMPACT shop drawing.  

IMPACT Element Designation is a value that is formed by the following formula: 

IMPACT Designation prefix for current element +  the element width in cm + “/” +  the element height in cm.

For example WP 20/ 240

IMPACT Designation prefix is set either in the element family (Beams, Columns, Hollow cores and Linked) or in the element definition (Walls, Slabs & Form slabs). See IMPACT Designation prefix in IMPACT Element parameters article. 4.jpg
