Subdivision dialog box

Specify the fields of the facade to which you want to apply the division style.

Name

Enter a name for the division style, e.g. "Horizontal subdivision".

Subdivision, Offset

When set to Subdivision, Allplan divides the length to be subdivided into the number of sections specified. When you enter several values (separated by ";"), the sections are created at the ratio specified.

When set to Offset, Allplan divides the length to be subdivided into sections of the specified size. The remaining length is applied in accordance with the values entered for Offset at start/end. When you enter several values (separated by ";"), Allplan creates the sections in the sequence of the Offset values.

Offset at start

You can specify a starting section that is not subdivided.

StartFix

When you select this check box, Allplan uses the exact length you entered for Offset at start. Otherwise, Allplan simply makes sure that is does not fall below this value.

Tip: Using a division style of Division:1/Offset: /Offset at start: 0/Offset at end: 0, you can create a facade with exactly one field for each line segment.

Offset at end

You can specify a final section that is not subdivided.

EndFix

When you select this check box, Allplan uses the exact length you entered for Offset at end. Otherwise, Allplan simply makes sure that is does not fall below this value.

Angle

The value entered is used for subdividing the facade.

Pattern

Instead of subdividing the facade linearly, you can use a pattern for subdivision.

Reference

You can specify the element Allplan is to use as a reference to determine the length of the subdivision.

Off: no scaling (only useful when pattern is active)

Field: the field serves as the reference.

Face: the surface (plane) in which the field is located serves as the reference.

All: all facade faces together serve as the reference.
