Sub-Layout

Summary


  • This feature creates the sub-layout.

 

How to Run


  • Ribbon Menu > [Base] Tab > [Layout] Group > Layout > Sub-Layout

 

Explanation


Manual Method

Create a sub-layout by entering the coordinates directly.

Sub-layouts can be used for girder placement where straight lines must be maintained regardless of the curved placement in the layout. Path-Linked Entities assigned to the Independent Space of the Assembly Unit Mode can be placed.


Tab

  • [Number of Girders]
    Enter the number of sub-layouts to create.

  • [Coordinate]
    Enter the coordinates of the start and end points for each sub-layout. The coordinates of the start and end points need to be entered for every sub-layout specified in the number of sub-layouts.

Tab

  • [Skew]
    Assign skew to the start and end points of each layout. When an independent space is assigned, the constraint plane rotates for placement according to the corresponding skew value. The entered angle is set to positive in the counter-clockwise direction.

The skew value of each library assigned to a sub-layout can be applied independently of the skew applied to the Layout.

  • [Superelevation]
    Enter the superelevation for each sub-layout.

  • The superelevation value of each library assigned to a sub-layout can be applied independently of the superelevation applied to the Layout.

 

 

Bearing Coordinate Method

Enter the girder upper coordinates of the bearing position to create a sub-layout for the girder.


 

Sub-layouts can be used for girder placement where straight lines must be maintained regardless of the curved placement in the layout. Path-Linked Entities assigned to the Independent Space of the Assembly Unit Mode can be placed.


Tab

  • [Number of Spans]
    Enter the number of spans to create.

  • [Span Configuration]

    • Bearing Start (BS) : Enter the distance between the girder start point and the support center for each span.

    • Bearing End (BE) : Enter the distance between the girder end point and the support center for each span.

    • Girder Height : Enter the girder height for each span. The sub-layout start and end points for each span is located at a point defined by the entered bearing coordinates as well as the zcoordinates from the girder height.

    • # Girders : Enter the number of girders for each span.

  • [Bearing Coordinate]

    • Station : Shows where the bearing is placed. A indicates abutment, and P indicates pier. Moreover, P(F) indicates the girder end point on the pier and P(B) indicates the girder start point on the pier.

    • X, Y : Enter the X, Y coordinates of the girder at the bearing location (Same as X, Y coordinates of bearing.)

    • Girder Elevation : Enter the elevation of the girder at the bearing location.

  • [Calculation Option]

    • Round-off Digit : Specifies the significant figures used in the calculation of sub-layout start and end points. If 0.10000m is entered, based on the meter unit, the number is rounded off at the second decimal place while considering from the tenth unit.


Tab

  • [Skew]
    Assign skew to the start and end points of each span and layout. When an independent space is assigned, the constraint plane rotates for placement according to the corresponding skew value. The entered angle is set to positive in the counter-clockwise direction.

The skew value of each library assigned to a sub-layout can be applied independently of the skew applied to the Layout.

  • [Superelevation]
    Enter the superelevation for each sub-layout.

  • The superelevation value of each library assigned to a sub-layout can be applied independently of the superelevation applied to the Layout.
