HRB Occupancy

HRB - Occupancy

The HRB module is optional and allows for the automatic placement of bars (studs, sills, and frames) and slabs on walls. The studs can be automatically aligned to the slabs. The construction can be precisely defined and modified in terms of corner joints, T-joints, top and bottom joints, and openings.

HRB - Wall selection

With the 'Wall Selection' function you can graphically select any walls that are to be covered with the HRB module next.

HRB - All Walls

The 'All Walls' function automatically marks all walls on the current floor without requiring any further input. These walls can then be assigned with 'occupations' from the HRB module.

HRB - All exterior walls

The 'All Exterior Walls' function automatically marks all exterior walls of the current floor without requiring any further input. These walls can then be assigned with 'occupations' from the HRB module.

HRB - All interior walls

The 'All Interior Walls' function automatically marks all interior walls of the current floor without requiring any further input. These walls can then be assigned with 'occupations' from the HRB module.

HRB - Receipts

The 'Create' function starts the calculation of the beams and slabs for the selected walls. The settings of the selected HRB pre-processing file are used. A different pre-processing file can be configured for each wall. The pre-processing file settings can be changed beforehand using the 'Execution' and 'Attributes' functions.

With the dialog box that opens before the calculation, you can make various settings:

HRB Preliminary : Here you can choose whether to use the preliminary file set for each individual wall (#from wall design#), or select a specific file from the list. This file will then be used for all selected walls, regardless of what was previously set there.

Replace components : When adding components to a wall, previously entered components (e.g., bars, panels, etc.) can be deleted or retained. The following settings are possible:

All : All components belonging to the respective wall will be deleted.

From HRB : Only components previously created with HRB will be deleted. Components entered using the wall construction or free construction method will remain.

None : All components are retained, regardless of where and how they were entered.

Create panels : Here you can specify whether the planking should be generated from the HRB pre-production file or not. If the settings in the HRB pre-production file specify that the studs should be aligned to the panels, this will be done even if the panels are not generated.

Create groups (2/-1/..., empty=all) : This option allows you to specify the layers for which components should be created. If the field is left empty, components will be created for all layers. However, if you enter one or more layers, only the components for those layers will be created. The individual layers are separated by slashes (/).

Recreate layer contours : Here you can specify whether or not the layer contours of the walls should be restored to their original shape before covering. Selecting 'Yes' restores the original shape of the layers and applies the layer offsets from the HRB file. Selecting 'No' retains the layer contours as they were before covering. The layer offsets from the HRB file are then not applied. This allows you to make manual layer corrections (in wall construction) in special cases and use them for the HRB covering.

[Minimum line length for layer contours:]{.underline}

Core layers : It may happen that a layer contour contains very small line segments that are not actually relevant to the HRB assignment. This can occur, for example, when walls intersect the roof cladding in the area of ​​ridge or valley lines. This value can be used to specify a minimum line length for notch layers. Lines shorter than this value are deleted from the layer contour. The adjacent lines are automatically extended to close the contour.

Shells : This value allows you to set the same value as for the core layers (see above). The shells are all non-core layers.

After closing the dialog box, the assignment of the previously selected walls begins. This can be tracked in the overview window.
