Structure

SettingDescription
Alignment Tolerance The tolerance used for aligning structural components, especially structure pipeways.
  • Constant: *DPAR-STRUCTURAL-TOLERANCE*
  • English: 0.0625 in
  • Metric: 2.0 mm
Default Beam Designation The default beam member choice when the Structure Builder dialog is open empty. Selection of the default designation is seeded from the structural-member-properties table. As that table varies from customer to customer, Bentley Systems does not provide default member designations.
  • Constant: *PBAR-STRUCTURAL-DEFAULT-BEAM-DESIGNATION*
Default Bracing Designation The default beam member choice when the Structure Builder dialog is open empty. Selection of the default designation is seeded from the structural-member-properties table. As that table varies from customer to customer, Bentley Systems does not provide default member designations.
  • Constant: *PBAR-STRUCTURAL-DEFAULT-BRACING-DESIGNATION*
Default Column Designation The default beam member choice when the Structure Builder dialog is open empty. Selection of the default designation is seeded from the structural-member-properties table. As that table varies from customer to customer, Bentley Systems does not provide default member designations.
  • Constant: *PBAR-STRUCTURAL-DEFAULT-COLUMN-DESIGNATION*
Default Floor Thickness Sets the default thickness of a floor slab obstacle in a structure.
  • Constant: *CPR-FLOOR-DEFAULT-FLOOR-THICKNESS*
  • English: 2.0 in
  • Metric: 50.0 mm
Default Reserved Spaces An ordered list of reserved spaces and their heights to be applied by default for the top of each interior structure floor. Default values are entered here and can be edited on a floor by floor basis.
  • Constant: *CPR-STRUCTURE-DEFAULT-RES-SPACE-LIST*
  • English: nil
  • Metric: nil

Default Reserved Spaces Dialog

Default Routing Plane Spacing The structural equivalent to the global routing plane offset.
  • Constant: *CPR-FLOOR-DEFAULT-RPLANE-OFFSET*
  • English: 30.0 in
  • Metric: 750.0 mm
Distributed Floor Weight The distributed weight per unit area of the floor and floor beams in lb/in2 or kg/mm2.
  • Constant: *DPAR-DEFAULT-FLOOR-DISTRIBUTED-WEIGHT*
  • English: 0.09
  • Metric: 6.26e-5
Include Floors Determines if floors should be included in a structure section by default (you can override setting for individual sections).
  • Constant: *PBAR-STRUCTURES-USE-FLOORS*
  • English: yes
  • Metric: yes
Included Floors are Obstacles Determines if included floors in a structure section are, by default, an obstacle to routing (you can override setting for individual sections).
  • Constant: *PBAR-STRUCTURES-USE-FLOORS-OBSTACLES*
  • English: yes
  • Metric: yes
Pipe Support Horizontal Extension The distance a support beam extends beyond the outermost pipe in a group on a pipe support.
  • Constant: *DPAR-PIPE-SUPPORT-HORIZONTAL-EXTENSION-PAST-OUTERMOST-PIPE*
  • English: 3.0 in
  • Metric: 75.0 mm
Structural Member Label Display Where you turn on or off the display of structural member labels. When the labels are turned on, every member (steel or concrete) will be labeled unless the individual label has been deleted.
  • Constant: *PBAR-STRUCTURAL-MEMBER-LABEL-DISPLAY*
  • English: no
  • Metric: no
Structural Member Label Height Sets the text height for structural member labels.
  • Constant: *PBAR-STRUCTURAL-MEMBER-LABEL-HEIGHT*
  • English: 6 in
  • Metric: 160 mm
Structural Member Label Level The CAD level structural member labels are drawn on.
  • Constant: *PBAR-STRUCTURAL-MEMBER-LABEL-LEVEL*
  • English: “struc-mem-label”
  • Metric: “struc-mem-label”
Structural Member Design Offset The offset distance between a bracing member and an adjacent floor beam or another bracing member at beam or column connection.
  • Constant: *PBAR-STRUCTURAL-MEMBER-DESIGN-OFFSET*
  • English: 2.0"
  • Metric: 50 mm
Structural Obstacle Space Extension The default extension of a structure obstacle field around a structure.
  • Constant: *DPAR-PEDESTAL-DROP-ZONE-OFFSET*
  • English: 12.0 in
  • Metric: 300.0 mm
