10B. DIMENSIONING PART 2/4

CHAPTER 10B 'DIMENSIONING' 24 OBSERVATIONS: • The "Hide Color Gradients" option clears the vector and the desktop of colors and scale • Because all sizes are only displayed in the 3D vector, selecting the command automatically rotates the vector to 3D. • Linear members of all kinds have been divided into two categories, Beams - Columns. Each time the sizes are displayed only for each category you select • In the linear elements, those that are not selected to display size (e.g. the beams when I have chosen to display a size on poles), are all painted in grey (off scale) so that their colour is not confused with that of the others (especially if the values are not displayed) • The name of the size displayed is shown at the bottom right. If the check box "Show values" is checked, the values are also displayed, otherwise only the colours are shown. • The "Show only those that miss" option displays the values only for those that have a ratio >1. • Finally, the "Range of values" option allows you to set a range of values to be displayed on the screen. This is a particularly useful tool especially in the case of large operators. Regarding the beams (3 values, start - middle - end) . You can now see the following values in colour: Ā Percentage of reinforcement r above Ā Percentage of reinforcement p down Ā Reinforcement ratio ρ max (the maximum of the two above) Ā Ratio of over armouring over
