CADWorx Structure tab: Model panel > Area Objects > Area Objects palette > Grating

Creates grating in the drawing using specified points, a polyline that defines the area of the grating, or support members.

Template

Specifies a predefined configuration of the grating to place.

Save

Saves any changes you make to the selected template.

Save As

Displays the Save As Template dialog box, which allows you to save a new template.

To save changes to an existing template, click Save.

Show Detailed Grating

Displays the grating in detail with all members. When you clear the Show Detailed Grating check box, the grating displays as an extruded block.

General

Boundary Offset

Specifies the boundary offset distance from the selected locations or the cardinal point of the members.

Bearing Bar Spacing (A)

Specifies the distance between the load bearing bar members of the grating.

Cross Bar Spacing (B)

Specifies the distance between the non-load cross bar members of the grating.

Span Rotation

Specifies the rotation angle of the grating members.

Unit Weight

Specifies the unit weight of the grating.

Boundary Banding

Displays banding around the grating. Clear the Boundary Banding check box to remove the boundary banding display around the grating.

With Banding

Without Banding

Secondary Banding

Displays banding around openings in grating. Clear the Secondary Banding check box to remove the secondary banding display around the opening.

With Secondary Banding

Without Secondary Banding

Group

Specifies the group classification of the structural member designated in the Group Manager. When you select a group from the list, the layer automatically updates to the layer assigned to that group. The groups that display in the Group list come from the Group Manager in the Structure Editor. For more information, see Group Manager in the CADWorx Structure Editor Users Guide.

Layer

Specifies the assigned layer. Layers default to the assigned group. However, you can change a layer as needed. The layers that display in the Layer list come from the Layer Manager in the Structure Editor. For more information, see Layer Manager in the CADWorx Structure Editor Users Guide.

Details

Long Description

Specifies a long description for the item that you place.

Short Description

Specifies a short description for the item that you place.

Part Number

Specifies a part number for the item that you place.

Tag

Specifies the tag of the item that you place.

Members

Modify Member

Allows you to change the members associated with the grating.

  • Load Members

Allows you to change the Steel Shape, Section Data Table, Member Size, Material, Angle, Cardinal Point, and Reflect properties for the grating load members.

  • Banding Members

Allows you to change the Steel Shape, Section Data Table, Member Size, Material, Angle, Cardinal Point, and Reflect properties for the grating banding members.

  • Secondary Banding

Allows you to change the Steel Shape, Section Data Table, Member Size, Material, Angle, Cardinal Point, and Reflect properties for the grating secondary banding members. The software uses the secondary banding members when you open a grating.

  • Cross Members

Allows you to change the Steel Shape, Section Data Table, Member Size, Material, Angle, Cardinal Point, and Reflect properties for the grating cross members.

Shape

Specifies the shape of the structural member, such as Wide Flange.

Section Data Table

Specifies the data used from the library for the structural member, such as Wide Flange. The list changes based on the Section Type setting, and populates the Member Size list.

Member Size

Specifies the size of the structural member, such as W10X22.

Material

Specifies the material of the structural member.

Angle

Specifies the angle of the structural member when you place that member. The angle and the cardinal point work in conjunction. For example, a 180-degree angle with a top-right cardinal point displays the cardinal point at the bottom left when you insert the member.

Cardinal point

Specifies the cardinal point of the structural member when you place that member.

Reflect

Places the inserted shape in the opposite direction of the default along the cardinal point line.

Place By

  • Points

Places an item by defining a close boundary of points. Click to define the item by at least four points in the 3D model space.

  • Lines

Places an item in the 3D model space from selected lines. The length and position of the line define the component. The lines must define a closed boundary.

  • Members

Places an item in the 3D model space from selected support members. The members must define a closed boundary.

Insert

Places the item in the 3D model space based on the configuration and the selected Place By option. This option is not available when you modify.

Apply

Applies changes to an inserted item. This option is only available after you select an item in the drawing.

Double-click grating to display the Modify Grating palette.
