How does collision control work?

With collision checking 2-05-1- Collision Checking in free construction, the program searches for components that penetrate each other. This can happen because machining is missing or because existing components were overlooked when entering components. Not all components of a construction are necessarily checked. You must first activate the components you want to check. Then select the collision checking function. First, the program asks for a minimum penetration for collision control. If the program finds a collision where the components penetrate less than the entered value, then the collision is ignored. It is therefore recommended to set a value of approximately 0.0005m to 0.001m. This ignores penetrations of half to one millimeter.

Which sorting is recommended?

The following settings have a decisive influence on sorting and should be considered:

Type: With the setting 'Sorting with comparison', identical components also get the same serial number. This setting is the standard setting for the European region. When choosing 'Sorting without comparison', each component receives its own number. This sorting method is common in the United States.

Start number: If you want to store all model areas together in a single machine file, there must be sufficiently large distances between the start numbers of the model areas Wall, Ceiling, Roof, and Free Construction so that the serial numbers do not overlap. However, if you deliberately want to start with serial number 1 in each model area, individual machine storages must be created for each model area.

Restart numbering: If all floors are to be stored in the same machine file, the restart of numbering must be set to 'Position-wise'. If this is set to 'Wall', 'Ceiling field' or 'Roof surface', a separate machine file may have to be created for each building element. If it is set to 'Floor', a separate storage must be made for each floor.

Consideration: The point 'Consideration' specifies the search area in which identical bars are searched for. If the consideration is set to 'Position', for example, after a bar has received serial number 1, the entire building position is searched for identical bars. These then also receive serial number 1 (Example: Identical rafters on different roof surfaces). However, if the information about which wall, ceiling, or roof surface the bar comes from is to be passed to the machine, bars from different building elements must also have different serial numbers. In this case, 'Wall', 'Ceiling field' or 'Roof surface' should be set under consideration.

Consider Package/Element: If the information about which package or element a bar is organized in is to be passed to the machine, 'Consider Package/Element' must be set to 'Yes' so that identical bars from different packages get different serial numbers. Alternatively, you can not consider the packages/elements during sorting and make a separate machine storage for each package. It must be noted that packages/elements are always considered during transfer. If you have not considered them during sorting, you get an error message when transferring all packages, since different components (from different packages) have the same serial number.

Markings with numbers: If the cutting plant is to 'print' or 'label' the serial numbers of the rafters in the associated rafter markings of the purlins, this information can be entered either for all purlins or for the previously activated purlins.

The machine transfer reports "different components with the same serial number"?

In all machine programs, the serial number from our sorting corresponds to the line number of the bar. It is therefore not possible to transfer different bars with the same serial number to the machine program, as otherwise different information would have to be in the same line. In this case, the machine transfer is prevented and an error message appears. When the error message appears, the sorting settings and the setting for considering building elements must be checked.
