Element plan

Module(s): Concrete Construction

You can use the Element Plantool to create finished element plans of the concrete components.

To create an element plan

1. Click Element Plan (How).
   

   Activate Element Plan in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: Create Engineering Concrete Construction

   • Palette: Tools Create area in the following module(s):

   Concrete Construction

   The Element plan palette opens automatically. The Concrete folder is selected.

2. You can use the area at the top to navigate through the folders:
   • Clicking Back takes you to the superordinate folder.
   • Clicking one of the folders displayed takes you directly to this folder.
3. Click the folder of the component for which you want to create an element plan.
4. Click the required layout and click OK to confirm the palette or double-click the layout.
5. In the Label area of the palette, you can specify whether you want to use a fixed label pattern for the bar label.
6. Select the reinforcement component and place it in the workspace.

   The element plan contains views of the component and an associative legend. The title block contains label styles, which update automatically in accordance with the project attributes specified. The Number parameter indicates whether there are more identical components in addition to the selected component.

   

   A label style is essentially an associative label. The contents of a label style update to reflect any changes you make to the properties of the element to which the label style has been applied.

7. Create more element plans for other reinforcement components or quit the tool by pressing ESC.

   Note: If you create an element plan for a component for which you have already created an element plan, the old one is deleted.
