Structural data

Hi

I'm trying to clean up the definitions when placing beams, columns, walls and slabs to fit our way of work. But I can't get rid of the Structura Data, it don't show in the catalog editor. Super annoying when the betongbalk (concrete beam) has default material steel. 

Any ideas? Running connect edition, Aecosim update 4.

  • Ok. I'm not sure how structural engineers work in the US or any other part of the world. But for me, and our users, there's is no differences in what properties needed for a beam or a wall. But I get your point too.

    A way to customize the GUI to make it look the same way would be great. Let's say a user is drawing a foundation. They start with the strip footing (by placing a beam) and they add the material, grade and a few other properties to the structural data. When they place the foundation slab, there is no structural data. So they add the data in some other definition. When creating a report to tell the contracter how much concrete is needed, there's a big risk of getting only the amount needed for the slab och the strip footing, since the data is added to different definitions. 

    So in order to get a good reporting tool, the options on placement are the most important one. Preferably a way to hide the structural data in our case, since we don't use it, and it don't have the same customizable abilities with lists and so on, as the definitions have.
