With this routine you can apply infills in the drawing. Infills are glazing or panels; they can consist of several layers and be applied two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally.
Dialog box Apply infill
db_ath_panel_use
A description of the dialog box sections Selection and the graphical preview can be found in the Chapter Object selection.
Dialog box section Apply
You mark a field in order to be able to realize the desired function. The marked function is executed after pressing OK.
New
Creates a new 3D infill by selection of enclosing objects.
After clicking OK the dialog box is closed and the following occurs:
Input request
Select boundary object or [?]:
Choose a bar as a boundary object for the infill.
With the option ? you call the help.
Select boundary object or [Undo/?]:
Choose another bar as a boundary object.
Choose the option Undo to repeat the last input request.
Select boundary object or [Undo/?]:
You can select other boundary objects (at least three intersecting boundary objects are needed). This input request is repeated until the selection of the boundary objects is terminated by pressing the Enter key. Then the Dialog box Apply infill is opened. You will find information on this in the section Apply infill.
Attach
Applies the selected infill to a one or more infill symbols. For this, the dialog box is closed and an input request follows. Infill symbols arise through the detachment of infills.
Detach
Deletes the properties of the selected infill and only the infill symbol is retained. For this, the dialog box is closed and an input request follows.
Update
Updates the infill when changes have been made. For this, the dialog box is closed and an input request follows.
Infills can only be updated if they have been inserted into the drawing with the command Apply infill, because only these infills are linked to the saved library object.
Infills, which have been generated with the Infill command, are not referenced to saved objects and cannot therefore be updated.
Input request for Assign, Detach and Update
Select objects:
Use the mouse to choose the infills you wish to change.
Insert section
Inserts a section of the marked infill into the current drawing. For this, the Dialog box Infill parameters is opened, where you can change the infill settings. You will find further information in the Chapter Infill parameters.
The sections, which you insert with this command, are linked to the saved library object and can be updated.
After clicking OK the dialog box is closed and the following appears:
Input request
Option Point
Specify insertion point or [Object/?]:
Use the mouse or enter co-ordinates to specify the insertion point for the infill. Select the Option Object to append an infill to one or more existing bar cross-sections. With the option ? you call the help.
Specify rotated angle<0>:
Enter a rotation angle. Press the Enter key to accept the default angle of 0°.
These two input requests are repeated until you press the Enter key to terminate the command.
Option Object
Select first bar cross-section or [Point/?]:
Select an existing bar cross-section to append the infill.
Select second bar cross-section or [?]:
Select a further bar cross-section (flush with the one previously selected) to fit the infill between the two bar cross-sections. If you press the Enter key at this point, the infill is positioned with interrupted representation on the first bar cross-section. Select the Option Point to append an infill to one or more existing bar cross-sections.
These requests are repeated until you press the Enter key to terminate the command.
The infills are inserted on the Infill position of the previous bar cross-section. If none has been defined, an appropriate notice appears in the command line.
Note
• With infills, which are inserted into the drawing as 3D objects, the weather side of the infill is marked by a symbol.
• The layers of the infill are drawn on material-dependent layers which you can manage in the Dialog box Material properties.
• To change the properties of an infill, use the command Modify object or double click on the infill with the mouse.
• If conflict messages are obtained on positioning infills with the aid of infill positions, then the infill positions are probably not in alignment. If the offset is so slight that the rubber seal can accommodate it, you can influence the accuracy in the Dialog box Presettings. You will find further information in the section Presettings.
