Process Beams (3-D SE)

Steel Engineering...

The Steel Engineering tab provides the following beam processing functions:

Trim	Trimming beams to edges, surfaces and parts
Lengthen	Changing the length of beams
Notch	Notching with or without lengthening
Further functions	More processing functions like exchanging and adding of beams, changing the display type, curving and moving of beams.

In addition, you can use the 3-D functions for the processing of beams. They enable you, for example, to transform and shape parts.

Notes:

Most functions provide various function variants
Some processing functions can be applied simultaneously to several beams, i.e. a bill of materials.
If you want to process series beams, please make sure that the assembly is active. You can also choose the Group snap identification mode. In this case, if you select a part belonging to an assembly, the assembly is directly activated.

If you process beams to which an item number has already been assigned, the item number is assigned a negative sign after processing. In this case, you should re-itemise the relevant beams before creating workshop drawings, bills of materials etc. Please note the following:
If you do not want the negative sign, you can change this in the STB_PARAMETER.DAT file:

---> Positionierung: [Itemisation: ]
====================
vorhandene Positionsnummern beim Ändern von Bauteilen ebenfalls als geändert markieren (0 = nein, 1 = ja) : [also mark existing item numbers as changed when modifying parts (0=no, 1=yes)]

When changing part attributes, the negative sign is only assigned if the attribute is taken into account for identical part search.
