Membrane

Toolbox: SYSCAD Attachment details:

Drawing of any membrane contour with arbitrary thickness and radius. The membranes are adjustable via double-click or via moving the grips.

Enter the parameters into this dialog box and define the first point by clicking into your drawing. It could be helpful to use OSNAP.

The coordinates of the second point can be determined by using relative coordinate input (@) or by clicking onto a point in your drawing. Define a third point afterwards to determine the direction for drawing the wall thickness of the membrane.

The preferred values for radius and thickness can be defined in the dialog box SYSCAD VARIABLE in tab Attachment-Details for each membrane type.

Membrane join

You can join two membranes. To do so activate the function "Membrane join" and click onto the two membranes you want to join. The function will join those ends of the membranes lying near the selection points. The properties of the membrane chosen first are decisive and will be applied to the second membrane.

Membrane separate

To separate membranes activate the function "Membrane separate" , select the membrane and define the point for separation.

Membrane from polyline

The function "Membrane from polyline" creates membranes from the line segments of a polyline. .

Membrane doubling

The function "Membrane doubling" creates a membrane for a doubling/lamination of an existing sheet or membrane.

Enter the required distance into the following dialog box. Move the virtual displayed contour with the left mouse button to the required side of the membrane and confirm with a  right mouse click. Use the red arrow to draw the membrane contour to any side of the virtual contour. Define the membrane contour in the dialog box coming up now.

Use the command to copy the style of one membrane onto another membrane.
