Wall Tab

Specifications

Specifications

Wall thickness

Give the thickness of the pool wall whose properties have been changed.

Upper elevation

Give the upper elevation of the pool wall. The height of the pool walls is equal to the pool height. The height of the pool wall will change according to the value entered in the upper elevation value. + or - can be given a value.

Upper left elevation

With the value entered here, it changes the height of the upper left corner of the pool wall. Give a suitable value according to your system. For example, if you give the upper left elevation of a 200 cm high wall as 25, you would define a wall with a constant slope from 200 to 225. To change the bottom slope of the pool, you can use the command "edit pool surface slope".

Upper right elevation

With the value entered here, it changes the height of the upper right corner of the pool wall. Give a suitable value according to your system. For example, if you give the upper right level of a 200 cm high wall 25, you would define a wall with a constant slope with a base going from 200 to 225. To change the bottom slope of the pool, you can use the command "set pool surface slope".

Side material

For the solid model, select the material (texture) of the side surfaces of the pool wall from the drop-down list.

Upper & under material

For the solid model, select the materials (textures) of the top and bottom surfaces of the pool wall from the drop-down list.

Texture world length

Texture length is entered. For example; If 1 is entered, the width of the selected material texture will be taken as 1 unit and will be covered on the selected object. If the texture is considered to be in the form of a square, the object surfaces are covered with 1x1 textures aligned side by side.

Soil

It is the elevation that determines the height of the soil on the side where the pool wall touches the ground.

Delta

Give the pool wall off the plan. The position of the wall in the plan will change according to the value entered in the top, middle bottom and any definition.

Cantilever Slab Tab

Specifications

Specifications

Width

It is the width value of the pool cantilever slab.

Thickness

It is the thickness of the pool cantilever slab.

Material

For the solid model, select the material (texture) of the cantilever slabs from the drop-down list.

Texture world length

Texture length is entered. For example; If 1 is entered, the width of the selected material texture will be taken as 1 unit and will be covered on the selected object. If the texture is considered to be in the form of a square, the object surfaces are covered with 1x1 textures aligned side by side.

Components Tab

Add Building Components : Assigns the building materials defined for detailed building components metrics to the object.

  • Click on the building components button.

  • The Component Selection dialog will open.

  • In this dialog, click on the folder related to the material from the list on the left. Click on the material you want to use.

  • Set the parameters on the right.

  • Click the OK button. The "Component Selection" dialog will be closed. A summary line of the material will appear in the Building Components tab. More than one material assignment can be made to an object.     

The parameters available in the component selection dialog are:

In the usage section

No modification: The amount of material to be assigned for the object in question is marked when it is desired to be used in the size that was previously specified in the material definition.

Percentage: This line is marked when it is desired to be used with the percentage of the amount previously determined in the material definition, as much as the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog. For example, if the material quantity is 70, if the line “Value 1” says 40, it means the material amount will be used up to 40 * 70%.

Override: This line is marked so that the quantity entered in the “Value 1” line in the same dialog will be used instead of the quantity previously determined in the material definition.

Multiplier: This line is marked in order to use the value found at the end of the multiplication of the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog with the amount previously determined in the material definition.

Fraction: This line is marked so that the amount determined in the material definition before will be used as the fraction value created by the values ​​entered in the "Value 1" and "Value 2" lines in the same dialog. "Value 1" is the denominator "Value 2" is the denominator.

Proportional to: It is determined to what scale-area, circumference, length etc.-, region-side area, top, edge etc.- the material will be proportioned to. The content of the proportional list box is automatically determined according to the object and the size of the material. For example, a different list will be created if an operation is made for the column, a different list will be created for the library, a different list for the volume, and a different list for the field.

The lines that appear in the Proportion list according to the ladder object and material size are as follows:
