Left and Right sides of a support

I am quite confused with 'Left' and 'Right' sides of a support. Which direction should I consider as Front side so as to define Left and Right sides in a supports.

  • Hello Jackson,

    Is this in reference to Stress Isometric Tables?

    If yes, continue below otherwise please add more information to your description above.

    For the given support

    The following "Support Data" table was printed on the Stress Isometric drawing

    See the columns labeled Gap 1 and Gap 2, then refer to the notes at the bottom of the table. Match the support type and gap to understand the gaps setting at the support. 

    Example:

    Support type = Guide  H, Gap 1 = Left

    Support type = Guide  H, Gap 2 = Right

    Support type = Guide  V, Gap 1 = Down

    Support type = Guide  V, Gap 2 = Up

    Question: How to know what is left and what is right?

    Answer: The segment direction B01 -> B02 -> B03 indicates the segment direction. If the point of view is from the first node to the next node in the direction of progression. Right is always base on +ve local Z-axis. Therefore Left would always be based on-ve local Z-axis.  

    Please see the following AutoPIPE help section:

    With that said, Bentley is currently working to get a list of key performance indicators (KPI) for an upcoming analytical insights capability for AutoPIPE. We would like to hear from our users on what KPIs they have interest in. Please fill out this survey here to help us understand your needs.
