Launching the detailing style assistant
To launch the assistant, call up the context menu in the component overview of the detail centre in the list of detailing styles. On the DetailCenter, Parts tab > Detail Styles area, select menu. This opens up the following dialog.
– On the first and last input page you have the option of loading and/or saving your inputs as a ProStructures template. This gives you access to certain creation standards at any time.
After completely going through steps you can transfer between pages at any time, make corrections and then jump to the end again. Should the change impact the procedure as of the modified page, you must go through all subsequent steps again until the end of the process.
Coloring and support graphics
- Blue texts explain which basic information is to be compiled by this assistant page and to which detailing this information applies.
- Red texts explain the meaning of a current selection within a page. These texts change according to your selection.
- Yellow fields are obligatory fields, which require a valid input in all events.
Support graphics on the right serve to schematically illustrate the meaning of a current selection or selection set.
Selection from standard templates
Since the detailing assistant partly changes several parameters in the detailing style via your selection, some selection sets - especially dimensioning —can be selected via templates supplied with the product.
As an alternative to a combination of supplied (sub-) templates, you can often also select your own customized, user-defined template, which you have created within the standard detailing style dialog. This enables you to combine customized and standard templates with each other in the creation process.
An overview of the templates supplied with the product is available in the sub-section that follows this section.
