Radial Grid

Description

This macro aids in the creation of radial grids and includes a preview of the grid. The radial grid can be created as a stand-alone grid or added to an existing grid.

Installation

Simply copy the RadialGrid.cs file into the modeling macros folder for your environment.

\TeklaStructures\XX.X\environments\*your_environment*\macros\modeling\

If your environment does not have a macros folder, use the country-independent macros folder. Notes

This macro requires Tekla Structures 12.1 or higher. The dialog supports English, French, German, and Japanese languages. Units are mm unless otherwise specified.

Once created, it is not possible to edit a radial grid using the radial grid dialog. Any editing must be done manually. Note that attempting to edit the grid spans and labels using the standard grid dialog is not possible and will effectively destroy the radial grid. However, other properties such as UDA’s and magnetism can be modified using the standard grid dialog.

Radial grid attributes can be saved and loaded just as any other attribute files and are searched for from system, firm, and project folders. The file extension for radial grid attribute files is “radgrd”. 2007-02-01

Details

Coordinates

The radial grid is defined similarly to a standard grid. X and Z coordinates are input in millimeters, Y coordinates are in degrees. It is possible to use “N*M” notation in X and Y coordinates to indicate

repeated spans. After any change to the X or Y coordinates, the preview is automatically updated. The preview can also be updated at any time by clicking the preview button in the upper right corner.

X spans define the location and span of the arc portions of the grid, the first value will be the radius of the inner most arc. Subsequent spans are entered as distances relative to the first value.

Y spans define the locations at which a “spoke” grid will be created. Similar to the X spans, the first value defines the start of the sweep and additional values are relative to the first. Rotation is counterclockwise from the X axis in the current work plane.

Z values behave the same as a standard grid and are the actual floor levels.

Labels

Labels for the grids and floors can be specified here. Grid labels are automatically assigned if the fields are left blank or if the number of girds is greater than the number of labels given. (X1, X2, etc. Y1, Y2, etc. and FL1, FL2, etc. for floors) Only the first and last arc grid segments are given labels; internal segment labels are left blank to keep the screen from becoming cluttered

Line Extensions

The line extensions of grids can be defined here. In order to keep the arc grids intersections clean, only the first and last arc segment grids are extended.

Magnetism

The created grid planes can be set to have

magnetic properties.

Add to existing grid

By default the radial grid is created as its own

grid object. However, by checking the “Add to

existing grid” box before creation, you can add

the radial grids to an existing grid to create a

single complex grid. After pressing create, you

will be prompted to select the grid to which the

new grid planes should be added.

Lock grid

In order to prevent accidental modification of the radial grid from the normal grid dialog, you can lock the grid. In order to unlock the grid, you must edit the Locked property in the grid’s user defined attributes, which can be accessed from the standard grid property dialog.
