The essential boundary conditions for design checks are defined by assigning a type of timber design to an object to be designed.
The design properties in the objects are accordingly available for the activated design add-ons, depending on the material. Surfaces can be designed either as a surface or via the superordinate surface set (see also Chapter Surface Sets). It is also possible to assign design properties via representatives; this is described in Chapter Representatives.
Depending on the selected design standard, various Types for Timber Design are available. The design standard is selected in the Base Data of the model; see also Standards I. The description of the individual types can be found in the corresponding chapters of this manual.
Select an existing type of the timber design from the list or use the
button to create a new type. The
button allows you to graphically select another object from which the respective type of timber design will be imported. Click the
button to open the edit menu of the selected type.
All types for timber design can be displayed graphically in the work window. You can find the corresponding display options under the "Types for Timber Design" menu item in the Navigator – Display. Thus, it is possible to easily check the correct assignment and to obtain clear documentation via the Graphic Printout.
