Roof Elements - Assign Components

Assign components

Components that are created by meshing are automatically assigned to an element. The program therefore always knows to which element a component belongs. If components are entered manually in the roof structure, the program recognizes in which element the component is located and automatically assigns it to that element. This does not work if the component is not unambiguously located within a single element, and it does not work if the components are entered in DICAM. For this reason, components can be assigned to an element manually.

After selecting the "Assign components" function, you graphically select all components that should be assigned to a specific element. As soon as you finish the selection with a right-click, the program automatically attempts to identify the element to which the components could belong. It highlights this element by blinking. You can accept the suggestion with a left-click or reject it with a right-click. If you reject the suggestion, you can graphically select the desired element.

Remove component assignment

Just as you can assign components to an element, you can also remove that assignment. As soon as a component has been selected graphically, it loses the assignment to the element it previously belonged to. That component then no longer belongs to any element.
