Girder¶

Create girder¶

	Construction parts toolbar
	AR Objects menu > Girder

When you click the CREATE GIRDER function, the settings of the most recently drawn girder are active and the path of the girder can be drawn immediately.
You can use this function to generate orthogonal or free girder profiles. Girders are not room dividing, so they are not accounted for when determining room area.

Girder property bar¶

girder
The property bar is visible as soon as the CREATE GIRDER function is started or if an existing girder is edited.
You can manipulate the main values in the girder's property bar.

Function	Description
	Girder parameters
	Type
	Renovation planning state
	Girder shape
	Height reference
	Girder width
	Girder height
	Heights of top edge of girder to raw slab
	Distance from girder's top edge
	Exterior girder
	Properties of girder (material)
	Properties of girder (depiction)

Girder parameters¶

girder_params_
You can open the girder parameters from the property bar or by double-clicking the girder to be modified.

General parameters¶

Renovation planning state
Freeze
Type
Layer

The general parameters for architectural objects are described in chapter Architecture objects.

Dimensions¶

girder-parameter-dimensions
The girder's cross section (rectangular, free) and height section determine which of the fields are configurable or "greyed out".

Distance from girder's top edge¶

distance-from-top-edge
IOnly active with the "Girder to ceiling" height reference. If the girder is not attached to the ceiling, but has a fixed distance to it, you should configure that distance instead of setting the height reference to free. This reduces the effort required when modifying the structure settings.

Quantify covers¶

The surfaces are added with the cover of the room label for the room's ceiling covering.

Exterior girder¶

The report differentiates between interior and exterior girders.

Entry¶

Height reference - Girder to ceiling¶

girder_storeyref_top_
The top edge of girder to ceiling always reaches the storey height. Level floors and roofs are not accounted for.

Height reference - Free girder¶

girder_storeyref_free_
The girder's height situation can be freely configured. When modifying the structure settings, the position does not change.

Shape of the girder – Right-angled¶

column_shape_rect_
Enter the sizes by defining their widths and heights.

Shape of the girder – Free¶

input_cont_
Beforehand, you must draw a cross section. The cross section can easily be drawn normal to the viewer in the floor plan. This can also be a library part (steel girder). When you create the girder, you are prompted for a contour, then the start and end points and finally the direction.

Pen and hatching parameters¶

The pen for the section depiction cannot be selected. It is copied from the material's representation level.

Colour mode/material mode¶

Link with room parameter¶

lock_area_open_
If the lock is unlocked, the material configured in the room parameters takes precedence. However, if the lock is locked, the material of the respective construction part is displayed and not that of the room label. This setting has no effect on the report.
