Test drive nanoCAD SPDS Metalwork 1.2. Part 3
- Tutorial
We continue to publish a test drive on nanoCAD SPDS Metalware. In the first part of the test drive, we began to build a production framework. In the second part, we examined how to create vertical ties, struts, runs and place them on the plan, as well as create a cross section. In the final part, we will look at how to create a longitudinal section, create nodes, layout drawings on a sheet format, and create specifications.
10.1. We proceed to the construction of section 2-2. On the SPDS toolbar, call the Single axis command, set the axis name to “1”, and check the Dimension chain box (see clause 9.5).
10.2. We place the individual axes from left to right indicating the value 6000 in the command line.
10.3. In the section, using the Line command, we show the floor level (see section 9.8).

The purpose of the webinar – продемонстрировать пользователям САПР, как повышается эффективность работы инженеров-конструкторов при использовании специализированного программного обеспечения СПДС Металлоконструкции. В рамках вебинара будут продемонстрирован новый функционал программы, а именно, новая команда по созданию свай различного назначения. В программе реализованы новые параметрические объекты: железобетонные сваи, стальные сваи из труб предназначенные для устройства опор магистральных нефтепроводов, опор мостов, высоковольтных линий электропередач антенных, мачтовых сооружений, открытых распределительных устройств, машин и механизмов с динамическими нагрузкам, линий связи и других сооружений, в соответствии с проектной документацией в талых, с сезонным промерзанием и вечномерзлых грунтах. Функционал программы выполняет автоматическую нумерацию свай и автоматизировано формирует спецификацию на сваю и групповую спецификацию на свайное поле.
