Filling

The "Filling" program is used to insert windows, doors, fixed lights or mounting frames with a defined glass thickness into a selected field.

To determine a field just click into the field (determines the outer contour) or select the corners via OSNAP. The profile series of the FRAME is checked and the dialog box "Filling" is displayed.

Please note:

The program to the determine of the outer contour considers only profiles. If there is no closed contour around the selected point, the centre line grid (auxiliary lines) are included into the second search mode.

The program "Filling" operates with two levels at the variants FIXED FIELD and WINDOW . In the first level SYSCAD detects the surrounding profiles and offers an adequate selection of possible fillings. You recognize this level by means of the text output in the command line.

RETURN for end of filling

Define first corner (bottom left)

or select point in closed contour

In the second level a filling type has already been selected. This version applies to all following openings, until you confirm once. You recognize the second level by means of the text output in the command line. In the following example FIXED LIGHT with the defined glass has been selected. To end the program "Filling" duly it is necessary to confirm twice.

Depending on the used profile supplier you are asked for the fittings. This option can be deactivated with the dialog box SYSCAD-Variable / Cut List.

After defining for instance a window filling, the following dialog box appears:

Select your fittings here. Only the variations offered in the catalog are displayed. With version 2000.12SR1 it is possible to transfer the selection into the mask for special fittings. So you may create modifications from the fixed selection for other purposes.

An extra of 50% for glass borders, connecting rods, seals etc. is added to the wing weight for the total weight.

With the glass weight the factor 0,025kN/m2 per 1 mm glass thickness is used. (in case of single glazing the total thickness is used).

For the handle height a position in the center of the wing is suggested. In case only a centered positioning is possible, the field for the handle height is deactivated.

New fittings can be defined in the "Special fittings" dialog box.

Note: If you change the elevation with AutoCAD/BricsCAD - commands (e.g. to stretch or scale), the fittings selection is not adapted automatically to the changed dimensions. In this case you need to delete the filling and redefine the respective fitting. You can also use the command "Change filling" from the command group OPTIONS to define a new fitting.

Note: Since version 2000.06, you can also double-click the respective filling.
