  • Single Beam Drawing Imported Sale

    Occasionally a single beam drawing will be brought into D-CAD with a very large scale. The beam will sometimes be displayed very small in the corner of the drawing. If you come across this issue please try one of the following:


    1. Select "none" for drawing template. In D-CAD use 1-2 "Insert Stored Image"


    2. Round the scale to a fixed value when creating the drawing or round to a value of something like 8.


    3. Uncheck the predefined dimensions to the corresponding beam type found in "More Settings".


    4. Uncheck the "Show all 4 Longitudinal Sides".


    5. Select a larger paper size!

  • Assisting Geometry Lines

    Hi Kayaker,


    At this time the assisting geometry cannot be copied and pasted into a different wall in Wall Design. With your D-CAM Premium you can copy assisting geometry in D-CAM with 4-3-*. If you have a 2D DXF of your lines they can be imported into each wall in Wall Design.

  • Dietrich's Calculator

    Hi Kayaker,


    Currently the calculator only works for adding numbers while working in Ft/In.


    If you switch your units to Inches and enter the same values you will get the correct answers.

  • Surface Area

    Hi Kayaker,


    You are definitely on the right start!


    Zitat

    I created a new Main group G&G Steel,Sub group-Metal shapes,Object-Steel plate-K shape. Now when I use the beam by 2 points I can select the Item as steel plate.I have to type in K-shape into beam type because my K-shape is not in the material data tree.


    Do not enter in the "Object-Steel plate-K shape" in the material database. Enter the K-Shape, W-Shape, etc. only in the "Beam Type" in Wall Design or "Designation" in D-CAM.

  • Surface Area

    Kayaker,


    The advantage of using the object type "Beams" for the steel connectors is you can output all your steel shapes for the whole project very quickly. If you design K-shapes, W-Shapes, or beam hangers with three different planes and do not unite them but instead name them with the correct "Designation Type" it makes it very easy to output the weight, volume, surface area, etc. In the attached zipped file you can see all the settings I have used to accomplish this.


    Bringing the view of a plate into 2-D and determining the surface area and multiplying the thickness also works but can be a little slow for a large project. It also gets more complicated when you have a beam hanger with three different planes and then having to save each view.


    As Jens said the middle mouse "Determine Values" is much easier. This way would be best for quickly determining the exact weight and volume of single pieces. As this is a fairly new function the values are only available in metric at this time.


    When you output steel shapes designed as beams and not unite them, the weight and volume will sometimes be slightly higher as the program sees each piece as a rectangle to its longest point and will not take into account the small pieces that may have been cut away as seen in the attached picture. In most cases this can be an advantage and make for a more accurate quote as the fabricator will also be charging to the longest length of each piece.

  • Surface Area

    Kayaker,


    If you draw all your steel as the object "Beams" and do not unite them you can also output the weight, volume, surface area, etc to project data and come up with these calculation very quickly.

  • Ridge Cut

    Yes, that is definitely possible and there are many ways to make the cut.


    You can go to an end view of the ridge and use 3-4-8 and select the roof calculation lines when selecting the cutting planes. If you need to manually draw the cutting planes use your D-CAM Premium 4-6-* or in Wall Design 8-9.


    You can also use a smart tag 3-2-2 and select the Hip Cut found in Processes_in.

  • Create a birdsmouth without deleting tenon

    Hi Dandepoe,


    Are you using Dietrich's on your Mac notebook? If so this may somehow be causing the problem of using your mouse in Open GL.


    You do not need the mouse in Open GL. You can also use the arrow keys in combination with the Shift and Ctrl keys. Please give this a try and let me know how it works.

  • Perpendicular Drillings

    Hi Kayaker,


    As previously discussed if you still would like a material list of all the steel plates you cannot unite all the pieces.


    Also if you do unite the pieces you cannot use perpendicular drilling 3-04-5. You will need to use point to point 3-04-6.

  • Foundation Plan Footings

    Hi Kayaker & Jens,


    As we all know there are many ways to design a foundation. I have been teaching our users to always create one story for all concrete and foundation work. Start with the foundation and columns as wall volumes in ground plan. Keep the footings in the same story also using wall volumes but enter an offset (footing width - foundation wall width / 2) so the footing will be centered under the foundation. This way you can follow the edge of the foundation wall when positioning the footings. Use 3-4 to adjust the corners of the footings.


    When entering square columns as a wall volume you will first need to draw the wall longer then its width and then use 3-4 to adjust the wall shorter, back to a square column.

  • Ceilling and outside wall intersection

    Hi Vilmantas,


    There are two ways to position the sheathing so the wall does not cut the sheathing.


    When I am feeling lazy I simply place the sheathing along the inside edge of the wall so the sheathing will not be cut back by the wall. Then I manually move the sheathing into the correct location with 5-02 in Ceiling Design.


    The second option works if the ceiling has been placed flush with the inside wall surface. Then you can move the slice outline with 3-2 in Ceiling Design. Be sure to move the same slice that you are positioning the sheathing in. Now the wall will not cut the sheathing.


    Hope this helps!
