The Occurrence tab displays the ladder properties that you can edit or that are automatically determined by the software at placement. The property name appears on the left side of the grid and the corresponding property value appears on the right side of the grid. If you selected more than one ladder, and then selected the properties command, only the common properties between the selected ladders display.

When viewing properties for a single ladder, the following properties display. More properties may display depending on what you defined in the reference data. Refer to the Structure Reference Data help for more information on properties.

Category

Select the properties that you want to view for the ladder. Ladder properties are divided into several different categories: Standard, Weight and CG, Fabrication and Construction, Surface Treatment and Coating, and Responsibility. You select the category to define respective values by using the Category option.

Standard

Standard properties that are displayed depend on the reference data of the ladder. Because ladder reference data is fully customizable, only the common properties are documented.

Name

Displays the name of the ladder. The ladder name is based on the Name Rule selection. If you want to type a new name for the ladder, in the Name Rule box, select User Defined, and then type a name for the ladder in the Name box.

Name Rule

Specify the naming rule that you want to use to name this ladder.

  • Default Name Rule - Names the ladder using the format "<ladder type>-<location>-<index>" where <ladder type> is what you select in the Type box on the ribbon, <location> is the global workshare location ID, and <index> is a unique index number that starts at 0001. For example, LadderA1-1-0043.

  • Unique Name Rule - Names the ladder using the format "<system>-<ladder type>-<location>-<index>" where <system> is the name of the parent system to which the ladder belong, <ladder type> is what you select in the Type box on the ribbon, <location> is the global workshare location ID, and <index> is a unique index number that starts at 0001. For example, Structure System-LadderA1-1-0043.

  • User Defined - Select to specify the ladder name yourself in the Name box.

System

Select the system to which the ladder that you are placing belongs.

Horizontal Offset

Right

First Step Pitch

Displays the distance between the bottom reference plane and the first rung on the ladder. This distance is calculated by the software and cannot be edited.

Number of Steps

Displays the number of rungs on the ladder. This number is calculated by the software and cannot be edited.

Top Extension

Specifies the distance the ladder extends above the selected top edge.

Bottom Extension

Specifies the distance between the selected bottom plane and the start, or bottom, of the ladder. This distance must be a positive number. You cannot extend a ladder below the bottom plane using this property.

Support Leg Pitch

Specifies the vertical distance, along the ladder, between the wall supports.

Support Leg Thickness

Specifies the thickness of the wall support legs. This distance is left-right distance of the support leg if you were standing facing the ladder.

Specifies the width of the wall support legs.

Side Frame Thickness

Specifies the thickness dimension for the side frame.

Side Frame Width

Specifies the width dimension for the side frame.

Step Diameter

Specifies the diameter dimension for the step or rung.

Step Protrusion

Specifies the dimension for the rung protrusion. This dimension is the distance the ladder rungs extend past the outside side frames.

VlDim1

This value is not currently used by the SPSLadderMacros.LadderTypeA symbol.

VlDim2

This value is not currently used by the SPSLadderMacros.LadderTypeA symbol.

VlDim3

This value is not currently used by the SPSLadderMacros.LadderTypeA symbol.

Wall Offset

Specifies the dimension by which the ladder is offset from the supporting wall. This distance is measured between the center of the rung and the wall.

With Safety Hoop

Specifies whether the ladder includes a safety hoop.

Bottom Hoop Level

Specifies the dimension for the distance between the bottom of the hoop and the bottom of the ladder.

Hoop Plate Thickness

Specifies the thickness dimension for the hoop plate.

Hoop Plate Width

Specifies the dimension for the hoop plate width.

Hoop Pitch

Specifies the distance between the hoops.

Max Hoop Pitch

Specifies the maximum distance between the hoops.

HoopPitch

Hoop Clearance

Specifies the dimension for the hoop clearance.

Hoop Radius

Specifies the radius dimension for the safety hoop.

Flare Clearance

Specifies the clearance dimension for the hoop flare.

Flare Radius

Specifies the radius dimension for the hoop flare.

Hoop Flare Bend Radius

Specifies the radius dimension for the hoop flare bend.


Hoop Flare Height

Specifies the height dimension for the hoop flare.

Vertical Strap Count

Specifies the number of vertical straps.

Vertical Strap Width

Specifies the width dimension for the vertical strap.

Vertical Strap Thickness

Specifies the thickness dimension for the vertical strap.

Hoop Opening

Specifies the number associated with the hoop opening type.

Is Assembly

This value is not currently used by the software. Set to 0.

Is System

This value is not currently used by the software. Set to 0.

Envelope Height

Specifies the operation envelope height for the ladder. This dimension is used by interference checking.

Span

Specifies the distance from the top support to the bottom support. This is the default distance. When placing the ladder, the ISPSStairSymbolServices component calculates the actual distance.

Height

Displays the distance between the top edge and the bottom reference plane. This value is calculated by the software.

Length

Displays the length of the ladder. This value is calculated by the software.

Width

Specifies the inside width of the ladder rungs. This dimension does not include the width of the side frames or safety hoop and therefore is less than the overall width of the ladder.

Width - Struct Ladders

Angle

Specifies the angle of inclination between the bottom support and the side frame of the ladder. This angle is the slope of the ladder.

LadderAngleCONCEPT

Step Pitch

Specifies the maximum allowable vertical distance between the ladder rungs.

Step Pitch - Struct Ladders

Side

Weight and CG

Displays the center-of-gravity and the weight of the selected object. The center-of-gravity locations are displayed relative to the active coordinate system along the X-, Y-, and Z-axes. The weight value that is displayed in the properties dialog is calculated as the material density multiplied by the object's solid volume. Therefore, the material of the object affects the weight value that is displayed here. Check the material assigned to the object if the weight displayed is an improbable value. For the most accurate weight calculation, use the Tools > Run Reports command.
