This form allows the user to copy a special template from the project special templates available for different
disciplines stored in separate ZONES in THE Application Data World typically
/SUPPORT/FRAMES/SPECIALS/BS :
SUPPORTS/SPECIALS/BS/PIPE
SUPPORTS/SPECIALS/BS/TRAY
SUPPORTS/SPECIALS/BS/HVAC
SUPPORTS/SPECIALS/BS/LIGHTING
If the discipline ZONE exists, in this case /SUPPORT/FRAMES/SPECIALS/BS, the STRU elements in the
zone will be displayed as shown in the form earlier. Otherwise the user will be informed that the zone
SUPPORTS /SPECIALS/BS/PIPE does not exist and the ‘Copy Project Special’ operation is aborted. If the
zone exists but NO STRU elements exist in the zone, an empty list on the form will be displayed.
Users may now use the standard AVEVA E3D Structures module to add any new members required on the
support, modify and/or delete any of the existing structure members etc… to complete the design of the
Support required.
Users who have write access to the database zones owned by the Application Data World typically
/SUPPORT/FRAMES/SPECIALS/BS, can create their own SUPPORTS Project Special structural
templates in the discipline specific zones for use by users of the SUPPORTS application in the AVEVA
E3D project.
The idea of the Supports project special templates is for users to create a special support with some steelwork
members very quickly and if necessary complete the design of the support in the standard AVEVA E3D
Structures module.
