Model Areas

General

What are model areas?

Model areas such as floor plan, wall construction, ceiling construction, roof, and free construction each offer their own area with different functionality. The model areas can be configured with various settings such as icon bars and display according to working method.

What model areas are there?

• Wall Construction – Input of timber and panels into walls

• Floor Plan – Creating floors and input of walls with openings

• Ceiling Field – Creating ceiling fields with ceiling contour and orientation

• Ceiling Construction – Input of timber and panels into ceiling fields

• Roof Layout/Roof Structure - Input of house contour and roof construction

• Dormer - Layout of dormers and input of dormer construction

• Framework Construction - Input of framework construction

• DICAM / Free Construction – Free input and editing of components

• Horizontal Statics – Horizontal load determination and design of walls and ceiling slabs

• Plan CAD – Processing and output of plans

Ceiling

Is the ceiling rotated in ceiling construction?

What is the difference between ceiling types: Uncut, Intermediate ceiling, Boundary ceiling?

• With an uncut ceiling, the ceiling contour is prevented from being limited by the roof surfaces. The shape of the ceiling is therefore only determined by the shape of the ceiling contour. With the uncut ceiling, for example, a terrace can be created.

• The boundary ceiling separates a developed (inhabited) attic from an undeveloped attic (e.g., crawl space). The boundary ceiling should only be used in the roof area, i.e., when the ceiling lies completely above the eaves of the roof surfaces. If this is not considered, absolutely no inner layer panels are created in the roof.

• The intermediate ceiling should be used in all situations that do not correspond to the exceptional cases described below. It separates two inhabited floors from each other, but must also be used between living space and basement as well as for the floor slab (sole).

Roof

The purlins taken from the profile are at the wrong height?

Changes in the profile must always first be saved and reassigned in the building for safety reasons. A deliberately triggered assignment of the current profile to the respective house contour should ensure that really only changes that are desired are taken over at the time determined by the user.

Components in a + layer of the roof are not created?

Basically, the input of components in the corresponding layers is largely influenced by the roof surface design. The design is called up in the model area Roof Layout under 3 - 01 - Roof Surface Design. If the setting – Core layer – is selected, the layer/component gets special prioritization during intersection. Core layers are not cut back by a wall; they always run to the roof overhang, even if they have to pass through a wall to do so.

Why are no canopy areas created?

Tiles cannot be placed on a roof surface?

Sometimes, due to intersections of roof surfaces, penetrations, or other settings, it can happen that tiles cannot be placed on individual roof surfaces. Here it can help if you make the tile, batten, and counter-batten layers into a core layer in the roof surface design (3-01).
