VERSION SCAFFMAX 2021 - 1.4
Description
Elements can be grouped together, e.g. to extend a scaffold. The group can then be duplicated by copy-and-paste. Items (from the item list), own components and assemblies can be used for this purpose.
For a group to be evaluated correctly in the material list, the group must be assigned to the construction tag. For this purpose, the group does not have to be exploded, but the individual elements of the group are displayed in the material list under the associated scaffold system. Own components and assemblies are displayed in the tab of the same name.
Example
A substructure consisting of a box (own component), a foundation board and two base plates is available twice.
The left substructure was assembled manually from an own component and items from the item list (Scaffolding system 1.1) and is accordingly located on tag FC_1.1.
The right substructure was created as a copy from the left one and then grouped.
In the material list, only the left substructure is evaluated, the foundation board and the two base plates of the right substructure are listed accordingly in the ± column.
Note
The construction tag is created automatically when a generated scaffold (see Scaffolding) is neutralized. To do this, proceed as follows (step 1 below is then omitted):
- Click on a wall.
The wall is shown dotted. - Right click on the wall. The context menu is displayed.
- Select the Block wall-related scaffolding function in the context menu.
In the following dialog click on Dismantle Completely.
The construction tag is added.
Prerequisites
- The tag construction must be created.
Note the lower case.
Steps
- In the default tray, create the construction tag. Click + to add a tag.
- Select the desired elements, right-click the blue frame and select Make Group from the context menu. You can also drag the elements into the drawing at this stage and then group them.
- Select the construction tag in the default tray - Entity Info.
- Open the Material list in the scaffmax program bar. The elements of the group are displayed in the material list under the associated scaffold system.
Result
You have formed a group from various elements and assigned the construction tag to the group. The elements of the group are displayed in the material list under the associated scaffold system; the ± column no longer contains any components. Own components are displayed in the tab of the same name.
