Building Structural Category Variables
Lists user configuration variables that generally apply to the Building Structural discipline.
Variable | Short Name | Description |
---|---|---|
STR_DISABLE_COPE_DEPENDENCIES | Disable cope dependencies | Disables automatic updating of coping functionality. Undefined or a value of zero enables automatic updating of copes. A value of 1 disables automatic updating of copes. |
STF_DOUBLEANGLE_PREFIX | Double Angle Prefix | Used to create a prefix ("2L" for instance) for exporting solid Tee sections as double angle sections to CIS/2 if double angle sections are not available. |
STFDIR_RAMSTRSYSTEMPROGRAM | RAM Structural Systems executable | Specifies the location of the RAM Structural Systems executable file. |
STFDIR_OPENSTAAD | STAAD.Pro executable file | Specifies the location of the STAAD.Pro executable file. |
STFFILE_DRAWINGRULES_ORGANIZATION | Structural Drawing Rules | Specifies the name and location of the file that stores the Structural drawing rules at Organization level. |
STFFILE_DRAWINGRULES_WORKSPACE | Structural Drawing Rules | Specifies the name and location of the rule file(s) that holds Structural drawing rule at Workspace level. |
STFFILE_DRAWINGRULES_ WORKSET | Structural Drawing Rules | Specifies the name and location of the rule file(s) that holds Structural drawing rule at Workset level. |
STFFILE_MODELSTYLES | Structural Model Styles | Specifies the name and location of the file that stores the Structural model annotation styles. |
STRUCTURAL_SHAPES | Structural Shapes | Specifies the name of the file(s) that contain structural shapes (section files). Structural section files are specified in the Section File Manager dialog. |
BB_GRAPHICALSCHEDULE_CELLLIST | Cell Library List for Graphical Column Schedule | List of cell library files that contain cells that will be available to be used within the Graphical Column Schedulegraphical column schedules. May contain wildcards. |
BB_GRAPHICALSCHEDULE_DGNLIBLIST | DGN Library List for Graphical Column Schedule | List of DGN library files that are used to find Drawing Seeds that will be available to be used within the Graphical Column Schedule. May contain wildcards. |
BB_GRAPHICALSCHEDULE_HIDDEN_MODEL | Show/Hide Intermediate Model while generating graphical schedule | Intermediate model for Graphical Column Schedule will be visible if variable is set to '1'. |
BB_STRUCTURAL_LEGACY_ENABLE | Enable Structural Legacy mode. | Set equal to 1 to enable Legacy mode. Set to 0 (default) to disable Legacy mode. |
BB_CREATE_STRUCTURAL_WIDGET_ANNOTATIONS | Create Movable Widget as an annotation element |

Uncategorized Building Structural Configurations
List of user configuration variables that generally apply to all Building applications which are listed in the Configuration dialog's All (Alphabetical) category.
Unlisted Building Structural configurations
Lists user configuration variables that generally apply to all Building disciplines which do not appear in the Configuration dialog.
Variable | Description |
---|---|
SECTIONMAPPING_SETTING | Specifies the location and file name of the ISM section mapping settings file. This configuration variable is created automatically when sections are mapped via the ISM Import and Mapping Sections dialogs. |
STRDIR_DRAWINGS | Specifies the drawing settings directory. |
STRDRAWINGS_LARGECOPINGPAIRMEMBERCOUNT | For automatic coping in the import of large ISM and Ram Structural System models, a pop up dialog appears warning the operation is time-consuming if cope pair combinations contains more than the STRDRAWINGS_LARGECOPINGPAIRMEMBERCOUNT specified number of members. |
STRDRAWINGS_OPENDRAWINGVIEW | When defined (any value), opening a drawing model (by double-clicking or Open Drawing Model) opens the drawing in the original view rather than navigating to the model in the same view. |
STFVAL_UPDATEEXPANSION | When updating (as opposed to recreating) DEM extractions, a slightly larger volume is cleared around each form that is being updated. The built-in Building Designer default of 2 UORs is not large enough for Structural members when labels are involved so Structural approximates a value based on the assigned rules. DEM uses that value. If that is not enough (something still doesn’t get cleared), STFVAL_UPDATEEXPANSION can be used to specify the expansion distance. The STFVAL_UPDATEEXPANSION value is expressed in plotting units (not model units). |
TFSAVEAS_SECTIONNAMETODWGBLOCK | When exporting a Structural model from the DGN format to the DWG format, section data is attached as a string to each element in the exported file. |
