Indication of altitude

 

 

Toolbar: SYSCAD programs -> SYSFLY Indicaton of altitude: Height node (group) or Alternative height coordinate (group) (Group) -> Elevation coefficient (block) or Altitude node 2 (block) (Block)

Settings and defaults under: SYSCAD-Variable / Dimension / Indicat. of altitude / Indicat. of altitude (group)

Ribbon: Programs -> Group Miscellaneous -> Height node (group) or Alternative height node (group) (Group) -> Elevation node (block) or Altitude node 2 (block) (Block)

Settings and defaults under: SYSCAD-Variable / Dimension / Indicat. of altitude / Indicat. of altitude (block)

or Tools -> Dimensioning group -> Elevation grade (group) or Alternative height grade (group) (Group) -> Height coordinate (block) or Altitude node 2 (block) (Block)

The programme is used to create reference dimensions, the so-called "Indication of altitude".

The indication. of altitude always refers to a reference point in your view or in the section. We call this point the BASE POINT.

All other elevation coordinates refer to this BASE POINT. You can of course define several BASE POINTS in your drawing and thus enter height coordinates in the view and in the section.

There are 2 types of commands available to you:

 

Indication of altitude (block): Elevation node (block) / Height coordinate 2 (block)

For creating vertical reference dimensions, with blocks. Certain attributes are assigned to the blocks

Advantages:

•Handling is simpler, more modern and more streamlined thanks to the block logic.

•The height marks can be easily copied and moved.

Disadvantage:

•Horizontal dimensioning is not possible, so no coordinate dimensioning can be carried out.

 

Indication of altitude (group): Elevation (group) / Alternative height grade (group)

For creating vertical and horizontal reference dimensions, as a group.

Advantage:

•The dimensioning is possible horizontally and vertically. A coordinate dimensioning can be created.

Disadvantage:

•Due to the representation as a group, the command: "Update dimensions" must be activated after each "move" .

•Copying of altitude values is not possible.

 

 

Example (possible with both commands):

Höhenkoten

In this image you can see a height dimensioning. The lowest dimensioning serves as the basis (here with the height value 0). All other dimensions can be placed as required by the user. The dimensions are calculated automatically by the programme.

 

Coordinate measurements are possible with the command: "Indication of altitude (group)" Height coordinate (group).

By using an elevation block that consists only of the dimension number, coordinate dimensions are also possible:

koordinatenvermassung

 

 

Copy the block Hoekosym.dwg from the SYSCAD template directory and rename it e.g. to MYCOORDVM.DWG.

 

Delete the symbols from the block. It should consist only of the text "MASS".

 

In SYSCAD-Variable / Dimension / Indicat. of altitude / Indicat. of altitude (group), refer to the new block under Dimensioning -> Elevation Coordinate:

 

koordinatenvermassung-sysvar

 

The generation of the coordinate dimensioning is carried out in the same way as for the height grades.
