Well I would make another piece of wood and put it so it "fills" the hole you want. And then in D-Cam use intersecting volumes, to remove the wood you want to remove.

Yeah, I was thinking about that also - to use PlanCad. But finally I found a better solution - see gpsvizualiser, at the bottom.

Hi.
Does any one know how to make such a map with distance rings, as shown on attached figure? I looked at Google Earth and Google Maps, but there seems not to be such a function.

Hi.

One have the options to show "textures and edges (4)" that I use most and "translucent objects (5)", that I use sometimes. Is it possible to mix the 2. I mean perhaps I have objects inside another object (could be steel details inside some wood or concrete). Then I would like to ask if it is somehow possible to show the main object translucent (5) and the inside objects "normal" (4)???

#ArgentaHans - how do you do what?

Yeah - I have almost never used these functions - but I have used a lot (!!) to make my own shapes in material database. Even complex shapes as concrete hollow core slabs, thinplate steel profiles, stair profile etc., etc. It is in fact very easy to work with.

Hi.

Normally when you put up inside walls in groundplan module, you let them just connect to other walls. And then a inside wall that is standing perpendicular to another inside wall, will cut through the boards layers.

In this case, I wanted to let the gypsum boards (fibre gypsum) go through and the perpendicular wall will just be connected at the outside of the gypsum. So I adjusted the perpendicular walls to the outline of the first wall. The boards outline, was still split at the points of the perpendicular walls. Then I adjusted the perpendicular walls to 1 1nd then 2 mm from the first wall. The boards outline, was still split at the points of the perpendicular walls. Then I moved the first wall 10 mm away, then the boards outlines where not split. Then I can place my boards and move the wall 10 mm back again.

But why is it not enough to adjust the perpendicular walls to the outline of the first wall or to 1 or 2 mm away??

All right - even more strange: There seems to be 2 copies to delete...

Ok - I think I see it better now - If in D-cam I view only wall volumes, I see my actual wall volumes (those I want). But if I use activate function I see also some hidden wall volumes (the old ones, that should not be there, because they are some kind of leftovers, from wall volumes that are changed). So these I could activate and delete - I think.

Dear Florian. Ok, I am not exactly sure, what exactly you suggest I do. But I will look at it later - I would like to finish first what I am doing now and then see what it takes to clean the model for the multiplied walls.

I have no idea also, how this have happened. I have been working as normal... But if I delete all the activated members, I will delete everything, including the walls, I should keep??? I am almost finished to make constructions in the 2 storey part, so this I of course don't want to delete. But if possible, I should of course clean the model somehow, before I send it to my drawer, for making of production drawings.

Ok, I try. I am not sure if it is all walls, but I have a feeling that it is. And now I have been working to make these walls for final project.

First, I had a preliminar project, where I made the walls as simple panels, just to be able to show a 3D model. Even in that first position, I can't delete these panels now. (also attached).

Hi.

It looks like I have some old panels in my walls. I can see it in the sections to the right and bottom, if I select all layers, but I can't delete it. I can't do anything to it... And it doesn't appear when I select the layers I would normally use for this kind of walls, only if I select all layers.

What can it be and how could I fix it?

Here you can see pictures of the situation. You see the wall element with the wood pieces I use to make the camfered cuts etc. and you see the result. The reason for 2x2 pieces there in the top of the window, is that I took it from wall macro, but it was not long enough, so I copied them. And why I copy them? - Because I can't cut them longer... But why these cuts is not going all the way??

Hi.

Sometimes intersecting volumes does not work and that can be quite irritating... :? Especially because I am going to use these intersection regularly. This is camfered edges around windows in concrete elements. Some of them works - and some of them does not work. I have tried to adjust precision both ways, but still not all intersections works. Are there other things I can try? I have also tried to make the male part bigger and in another material, but still...

Hi. Why sometimes it is not possible to cut a piece longer? What is locking it?

Yeah I can understand that. But in this case it is enough to write that it uses Eurocodes and it can be used with these countrie's additional local rules. I am thinking more about how the program works, what kind of calculations can be made and how (2D, 3D, complete 3D static calculation etc.) - in the case of the Dietrichs Static. This information would be useful to see on the webpages.

I want to ask also: Is this U-value calculation and later energy calculation an additional module that one have to buy??

Hmmm, very interesting - but this information is impossible to know, even if I would frequently check the Dietrichs homepage. Because the information given on the German version of the webpage and the English version is not the same.
I have mentioned before that your webpage is not good enough to show what is possible with the Dietrichs software. All modules should be described perhaps with a possibility that one can more or less built his own Dietrichs software package and study what he can do with this package. Ah ok this module is not interesting for me, uncheck it, but this module seems interesting, check it and one could read in details what can be done with this module.

But ok, about the U-value and energy calculations - very interesting.

Yeah, I am still working with Jesper and with the Dietrichs software. I can agree with you that the information on Dietrichs homepage about Dietrichs software, modules, what they can do, and also about the Dietrichs Static software - could be better and more detailed. I have mentioned it before. But perhaps they don't have ressources to do it. I don't remember if you have a building engineer / structural engineer education. If not, you should not use such a software and you should not make engineering calculations on strength of building parts. But it depends on what kind of education and experience you have. Take a contact to Markus (yes I know he is often long time to answer, because he is busy or travelling) and tell him what you would like to use the software for and if the software would be useful for those purposes.
There is also a direct e-mail adress to Dietrichs static: kontakt@dc-statik.com you can perhaps try also.
