Project: HiCAD Element installation

Example: Create Parts with Connection Parameters - Step 10

Step 10: Plan bores for sub-structure

As bores in the sub-structure will be required for the mounting, these bores must be planned here, too.

Create the bores as described for the asbestos cement panel. Please note the following:

For the asbestos cement panel we used connect_coor_other in order to use the alignment of the coordinate system for the beams. We want to use the same coordinate system here; therefore, we will continue using connect_coor (as created by the Repeat connection processing function) and not connect_coor_other, because this would use the alignment of the coordinate system of the asbestos cement panel.
The Repeat connection processing function must, of course, be applied to the connection geometry of the T-beam here, and not to the asbestos cement panel. In the connection parameters of the T-beam we have entered the Name: conn. Therefore, it will be not be accessed via the variable connection, but via the variable conn.
What was connection[1].connect_coor_other for the asbestos cement panel, is now conn[1].connect_coor here.

After inserting and repeating the 2 bores, saving the T-beam, updating the sub-structure and the connection, the result will look as follows:
