Generating of glazings in a dialog box

Use the button "LENGTH OVERALL" to get the dimension directly from the drawing. The option "Generate block" can be used to change several equal glazing objects.

Select the option Create block or let SYSCAD create the glasses as a group. Groups have the advantage over blocks that they can be stretched. To double-click on a glass group, however, the group mode must be active. (CTRL+Shift+A in AutoCAD / CTRL+H in BricsCAD).

If the group mode is not active and the glass has not been created as a block, the function can be called up by double-clicking on the outermost polyline of the drawn glass.

It is possible to generate glazing membranes in the glass panes. The membrane thickness needs to be defined in SYSCAD VARIABLE / LIST / GLASS or manually in the field "Thickn. Membrane". The segmentation of the foils in the glass pane is to be defined from the outside to the inside. With the information "2F2F" in the field of the glazing foil SYSCAD draws a membrane at 2mm, 4mm and 6mm in the inner pane. The digits define the distance. The character "F" defines, that a membrane should be drawn.

The parameter \P inserts a line break into the denomination of the glazing.

The field "Selection" offers variants that have been saved already. Type in the name of the definition file here. "Save settings" saves your definition to this name. The glazing is saved in the Fillings directory. Make sure the names does not contain any blanks, commas etc.

The command join glazing is build for joining 2 disconnected glasses.

The command align glazing is build  for aligning 2 glasses.

The command stretch glazing is build  for stretching glasses in the original direction.

The command divide glazing is build for exploding glasses and join them to a group. From the version 2012 and upwards, you're able to doubleclick glasses that were drawn as groups.

With the command "Define glass processing" you are able to draw polylines, circles or blocks as processing objects to the glasses in the elevation. These processing informations are shown in the Glasslist 1:1.

Create curved glasses / corner glasses  from an arc or polyline. Select the direction in which the glass should extend or the variant of the glass from the appearing glass generator.

With the command "exchange glasses" glasses or panels can be swapped in the section .  Select the glasses or panels to be replaced and then select the glass to be used from the glass generator.
