Itemisation of identical parts

Identical parts can be itemised:

 

In the Configuration Editor at Compatibility > Itemisation up to HiCAD 2017 > Geometric identical part search whether all parts are to be taken into account for (geometrically) identical part search.

If the Also compare geometries of general 3-D parts checkbox is deactivated, only the geometries of Steel Engineering parts will be compared. All other parts will initially be regarded as "geometrically different" and will therefore obtain different item numbers. If the part attributes comparison has been activated in the itemisation settings and the article number has been selected in the list of attributes to be compared, all parts with the same article number will obtain the same item number. This is the case after a copying of parts, even if individual parts are modified afterwards. If, however, the parts are referenced, an identical part search is carried out during referencing, and parts with different geometries will obtain, due to the referencing function, different article numbers. A subsequently performed itemisation without geometry comparison will then deliver the desired result. This means that if you want Sheet Metal parts or other non-Steel Engineering parts to be always compared geometrically during identical part search, you need to activate the checkbox.


Consider for identical part search

Here you specify the conditions to be taken into account for identical part search.

In addition, you can also use the Part assignment button here to specify filters for generating the article attributes. This allows you to determine that the article attributes are only generated for parts that fulfil certain criteria, e.g. all plates or only beams of a certain material.
