Those are engineering properties the The footing, beams ,slab and piers are combined as one solid Individual surfaces can be extracted,eg, Top for reinforcement, sides for formwork..whatever Surfaces along with solids can also be manipulated for simulations, automation, data transfer, etc BTW, I tend to stick to Siemens and Bosch products hth Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs 3 6581 The engineering is the engineering. It's irrelevant how much material you have. Unless it fits the requirements of your design the engineer can't "make"it work. You might… 7 9791 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 16181 |
