The program spro_16 TRANSOM/MULLION enables drawing horizontal, vertical or diagonal profiles. The position of the profile centre lines is determined by a point definition via OSNAP, via the program (centre) or by the (REF. point) definition.

Note: With FACADE series the command TRANSOM/MULLION is often misunderstood . The command is used to determine inner profiles whatever profile (transom or mullion profiles) you put in.

Determination of profile centre line via OSNAP

After the spro_16 T/M-PROFILES program call you receive the message " T/M-PROFILES from point ". With a defined OSNAP (catch point) the start of the T/M-PROFILES is determined. The inquiry " to line <PERPENDICULAR> " determines the end of the T/M-PROFILES.

Determination of profile centre line via MEASURE INPUT

A reference point (P1) is determined by means of (REF. point) to input of the centre line distances.

Command: T/M-PROFILES

T/M-PROFILE from point:(Ref. point)

Reference point:(P1) determine point in alignment with the inner edge of frame

Enter relative coordinate value: @ 1000<90 (P2)

With the message "Transom/mullion profile from point <Next>" select the line to start drawing the T/M-PROFILES from.

With the inquiry "to line <PERPENDICULAR> " select a line to end drawing the T/M-PROFILES with. The OSNAP < > in angle brackets is predefined.

The dialog box "T/M-PROFILES" is displayed now. Click into a field for profile selection.

After the profile selection the inquiry " Move or <RETURN> to accept". If you select the option "Move", the T/M-profile is shifted by a 1/2 face width at a time. Confirm the desired position with b_enter .

In case the point input of the T/M-profile centre line coincides with two profiles and the option "Move" is activated, an inquiry regarding a centre line misalignment is displayed:

1/2 face width outside 54.0 (e.g. for 620320)

1/2 face width inside 30.0 < 54.0 >

The advantage with shifting the face width inside is, that the interior chambers of the profiles converge in the corner point.

Accept the position with b_enter . Afterwards the following menu line is displayed:

End <T/M-profile> profile <620320>

Transom/mullion profile from point

Profile <620320>:

The selected profile is saved as a variable and is the default for all following T/M-profiles. If you want to use different profiles, click on "profile" in the screen menu. For the profile selection the slide " T/M-PROFILES " is displayed.

End of <T/M-PROFILE>:

The input "E" or b_enter exits the T/M-PROFILES mode.

Intersecting T/M-PROFILES:

Profiles, that are intersected by the run of a T/M-profile ("T/M-profile from point" (P1) "to line"), are divided automatically by the program (see example). In case the fields are already filled with fixed lights, the division is applied to profiles and glazing. T/M-PROFILES across insert elements (doors or windows) are not possible.

Please note: SYSCAD does not verifies the selected profiles regarding static feasibility.

Auxiliary T/M-profiles

Toolbar: SYSCAD Generating sections / SYSFLY T/M-Profiles -> Hilfssprosse

 

Ribbon: SYSCAD Gener. Sections -> View -> Hilfssprosse

 

 

Version 2000.13 offers a new command for drawing auxiliary T/M-profiles. It is to generate closed contours for fillings. Use this command to get a closed contour with doors to execute the command Edit grid. The command can also be helpful to generate a contour for a all-glass corner.

NEW with SYSCAD 2009:

It is possible to enter customized order numbers into the text field of the dialog box. The dialog box for defining additional items is displayed. These Additional items are drawn like the standard SYSCAD profiles. The profiles can be cut and are listed in the parts list.
