10C. DIMENSIONING PART 3/4

CHAPTER 10C 'DIMENSIONING' 48 The first step in dimensioning the layer is to define the dimensioning parameters. Because it is possible that for some of the layer members you may want to define different parameters, it is possible that within the same layer you can define different groups of parameters to which the layer members belong. The program has two default parameter groups. If you want to have the same parameters for all members of the layer, you set them once with the procedure we will see below, keep the default name "Beams" and press the "Apply to all members of the layer" button. The checks will be done with the same parameters for all members of the layer. In the different case that you want to set different parameters for some of members of the layer, you will set another set of parameters using the procedure explained below. But first we will look at how to define the parameters. Selecting the " Parameters " button will display the following dialog box: The " Group Name " field contains the name of the parameter group. If you want to create your own group, enter a new name and press the "Create New Group" button.
