Anchoring of 3CAD Points

Accurate dimensional tolerances in prefabricated timber construction are often confronted with the inaccuracies of other trades on the construction site. This can now be optimized by means of the new function "Anchoring 3CAD points to components" – the construction site learns and benefits from timber construction.

Always precisely positioned: When generating 3CAD points, for example, it is possible to select 3CAD fasteners or 3CAD timber components and other components. These can optionally be anchored to the 6th option –> component surface – or to the 7th option –> component surface and edge. If the selected fastener or component is stored or copied in the master data, the 3D point anchored to the fastener/component always moves to the desired position.

Easier position control: On the one hand, it is now easier to check the position of the component or fastener in question: Since the 3CAD points can be anchored precisely in the axis, the position can be easily checked in the 2D top view.

Precise preparatory work on the construction site: In addition, the 3D points can be exported via the 'Measuring points' command and sent to any tachymeter. If, for example, fasteners are anchored to the 3CAD points, these or the resulting drill holes can be marked out on the construction site with millimetre precision using a tachymeter - consequently, the accuracy of the construction site is enhanced.

Quick input with just a few clicks: The path to these benefits is via the menu item 3CAD and the sub-item 3D point, in which the desired designation is entered. Then, the now activated 6th or 7th option is used to select the desired fastener or component. If the 3CAD point is set, the context menu indicates that a concrete anchor, for example, is subordinate to it. The representation of the 3CAD points can be influenced in the "Optics" tab (O). Users can choose between "Cross" (standard) or "Minimum" (pixel), which can be saved back as the standard when prioritizing.

Know how thanks to familiar menu items: A 3CAD point can be modified like any other 3CAD object. The anchor point always moves with: If users want to change the position, the reference point or the distance of anchored 3D points, they can use the "Anchor" tab, already familiar from the creation or editing of existing components such as fasteners.
