ProStructures Options - Values tab

Used to specify settings for resolution of circular volumes for volume patterns (Facet-Modeler).

Setting	Description
Parameter - Value list	Each Value are used to control the display resolution of the corresponding Parameter. The input fields are used to specify the resolution for creating circular volumes. The higher the resolution, the more detailed the display but the computer processing speed decreases. Use high-resolution settings only for large scales and important details. Due to some special features in the volume-modeler, you should only specify odd numbers here. However, this only influences the Facet Modeler. Front/Back Distance – Sets the front or rear distance of the sectional area which is used as standard value for a limited visual depth (sectional area). 2D Subpart Grip Size – Sets the size of the pick helper symbol for detailed construction groups. You need the pick helpers to access the individual parts of construction groups in the workshop drawing after the detailing. Rounding Stiffener Thickness – Sets the accuracy the plate thickness of the calculated stiffener thickness has to be rounded at stiffeners in connections. An unnecessary accuracy can thus be avoided resp. only certain plate thicknesses, which are available in the workshop, will be used. Spec. Weight Steel – Sets the specific weight of steel to be used as basis for weight calculation.
