Building element as element

Entire building elements as one element

Building elements (walls, ceiling sections, roof surfaces) up to a certain size are not further subdivided into elements. Nevertheless, they are prefabricated like elements. This allows for a clear, consistent organization of these elements with the other elements. In particular, these elements are given uniform element numbers.

Entire wall as one element

• In function 7-5-1 " Add element joints by clicking on the button " whole wall as one element ". " you can define the whole wall as one element with all numbering options

• This often occurs with walls. To quickly define multiple walls as individual elements, the floor plan offers the 7-5-4 function " Entire wall as one element ." After entering the settings for the element number, the walls are simply selected one after the other.

• To remove the element information, call function 7-5-3 " Delete Element Joint " as usual. Since no element joint is available for these walls, a diagonal line through the wall is offered in the floor plan or elevation view. This line can be deleted, thus removing the element information.

Entire ceiling as one element

• In function 7-2 " Enter Element Layout, " you can click the "Enter Entire Ceiling as One Element" button to define the entire ceiling as a single element with all numbering options. (It is no longer necessary to set the boundaries outside the ceiling.)

• To remove the element information, call the function 7-3-3 "Delete Element Joint" as usual. Since no element joint is available in these ceilings, a diagonal through the ceiling is offered in the ceiling construction. This can be deleted, thus removing the element information.

Entire roof area as one element

• In function 7-2 " Enter Element Layout, " you can click the " Enter entire roof area as one element " button to define the entire roof area as one element with all numbering options. (It is no longer necessary to set the boundaries outside the roof area.)

• To remove the element information, call the function 7-3-3 " Delete Element Joint " as usual. Since no element joint is available for these roof surfaces, a diagonal through the roof surface is offered in the roof structure. This can be deleted, thus removing the element information.
