Before working with Structure reference data, you must be familiar with how the software handles reference data in general. Read and understand the following important concepts and procedures described in the Smart 3D Reference Data Guide:

  • Custom attributes

  • Codelists

  • Naming rules

  • Bulkloading

For example, before you can define stairs in your reference data, you must understand how stair data relates to data on the custom interfaces sheet, and how that information relates to parameters defined when the stair symbol is created.

The Structure task uses both two-dimensional and three-dimensional symbols. The 2-D symbols are used for member cross-sections. For more information on creating 2-D symbols, see the 2D Symbols User's Guide. The 3-D symbols are used to represent stairs, ladders, handrails, footings, and equipment foundations in the model. For more information on creating 3-D symbols, see the Smart 3D Reference Data Guide.

The structural reference data is defined in several Microsoft Excel workbooks. The software delivers these workbooks to [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\Datafiles folder.

Member Reference Data

Reference data for members is defined in these Microsoft Excel workbooks. The software delivers these workbooks to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\Datafiles folder.

  • The StructFrameConnections.xls workbook defines frame connections. Frame connections describe the positioning relationship between member systems. For more information, see StructFrameConnections Workbook.

  • The StructAssemblyConnections.xls workbook defines assembly connections. Member assembly connections are similar to frame connections, but define the necessary trimming between member parts and the generation of parts such as base plates, gusset plates, clip angles, and column splices. The StructPlateDimensions.xls workbook contains the plates information used in the assembly connections. For more information, see StructAssemblyConnections Workbook.

  • The StructSplitConnections.xls workbook defines split connections. Split connections describe the division of member systems into member parts. For more information about this workbook, see StructSplitConnections Workbook.

  • The StructInsulationSpec.xls workbook defines fireproofing specifications for the Place Fireproofing command. For more information about this workbook, see StructInsulationSpec Workbook.

  • The StructMemberFireproofing.xls workbook defines fireproofing encasement rules for the Place Fireproofing command. For more information about this workbook, see StructMemberFireproofing Workbook.

  • The AllCommon.xls workbook defines material grades and material grade properties. For more information, see the Reference Data Guide.
