Smart 3D Version
13.1

Displays properties of manufacturing profile parts. A manufacturing profile part is a two-dimensional wireframe representation of a detailed profile that has manufacturing data applied such as margins, shrinkage, marking lines, and beveling.

The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.

Approval State

Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.

Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) to reverse the status change.

You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.

Created By

Specifies the name of the person who created the object.

Curvature Type

Specifies the curvature type of the manufacturing object. The ProfileCurvature codelist defines this list.

Date Created

Specifies the creation date of the object.

Date Last Modified

Specifies the date of the last modification to the object.

Error Sequence State

Specifies the reason for a manufacturing command failure.

Hyperlink

Specifies the URL or local file path associated with the object. Click the hyperlink to open the page or object in your default browser. Point to the hyperlink to display the URL or path as a tooltip.

Description

Specifies the descriptive text associated with the hyperlink.

URL

Specifies the web address or local file name associated with the hyperlink. The URL must include the protocol, such as http: or https:, as well as the domain name. For example, https://hexagonppm.com/.

Is Twisted

Specifies whether the object is twisted or not twisted. The list is defined by the StrMfgIsTwisted codelist.

Last Modified By

Specifies the name of the person who last modified the object.

Length After Features Bottom Flange

Specifies the bottom flange length after features for the manufacturing object.

Length After Features Top Flange

Specifies the top flange length after features for the manufacturing object.

Length After Features Total

Specifies the total length after features for the manufacturing object.

After Features Length CONCEPT

  • The After Features lengths display the distance between the points of the object that represent the extremity of material. This is computed after the end-cuts remove the material from the stiffener solid.

  • The After Features values determine the final shape of the profile part. In addition, manufacturing and physical connection details (such as shrinkage, margins, feature cuts, marking, bevel angles, part mounts, and so forth) affect the final shape.

Length After Features Web

Specifies the web length after features for the manufacturing object.

Length After Features Bottom Flange

Specifies the bottom flange length before features for the manufacturing object.

Length Before Features Top Flange

Specifies the top flange length before features for the manufacturing object.

Length Before Features Total

Specifies the total length before features for the manufacturing object.

Before Feature Length CONCEPT

  • The Before Features values display the length that must be cut off the object stock before it can be suitably cut at the ends. This is the length of the object before the end cuts remove material from the profile solid. The software uses the Before Features values to calculate the Material Take-Off (MTO) stock table.

  • The lengths for each of the faces, as well as the total length, are all determined by the end-cuts themselves which internally define length points. This is illustrated with the red dot in the previous figure.

  • The two length points that are farthest apart from each face define the Before Features length for that face. Likewise, the two length points of the whole object that are farthest from each other go to define the Before Features length of the whole object.

Length Before Features Web

Specifies the web length before features for the manufacturing object.

Length Structural Detail Bottom Flange

Specifies an approximate length of the bottom flange for the detailed manufacturing object.

Length Structural Detail Top Flange

Specifies an approximate length of the top flange for the detailed manufacturing object.

Length Structural Detail Total

Specifies the total length of the detailed manufacturing object.

While there are four different lengths that display on the property page, only Length Structural Detail Total displays the detailing length.

Length Structural Detail Web

Specifies an approximate length of the detailed web for the detailed manufacturing object.

Length Unfolded Bottom Flange

Specifies the bottom flange length of the unfolded manufacturing object.

Length Unfolded Top Flange

Specifies the top flange length of the unfolded manufacturing object.

Length Unfolded Total

Specifies the total length of the unfolded manufacturing object.

The unfolded length values are the lengths of the extended objects after they are unfolded but before any features are applied. This length has almost no meaning to the designer because the extended length could be arbitrarily long. If the unfolded length is shorter than Length Structural Detail Total, the unfolding process may have been unsuccessful. Because the object is extended as a whole, the summation of the unfolded lengths for the individual faces equal the total unfolded length. Because most stiffeners do not have a bottom flange, the bottom flange unfolded length is typically zero. The same holds for stiffeners that do not have a top flange.

Length Unfolded Web

Specifies the web length of the unfolded manufacturing object.

Name

Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip. If the name is not defined by a rule, User Defined displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, Naming Rule displays. If you type a name in this box, Smart 3Dx automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.

Profile Type

Specifies the profile type of the part. The list is defined by the StrMfgProfileType codelist.

Survivability Status

Specifies the status associated with the manufacturability object. The list is defined by the MfgState codelist.

Generated State

All the steps and rules were successfully applied, and the manufacturing part was generated based on the steps and rules.

Partial State

Not all steps or rules were applied successfully. The information is not complete and you must add information to pass the manufacturability check. After the check passes, the step moves to Modified State.

Modified State

You have provided additional information that could lead to acceptance of the manufacturability check. The part remains in a warning state on the To Do List. You can refresh the part so that it is regenerated. If the check is successful, it gets a new status.
