Transverse Pile View
The transverse view is a not to scale side profile of the designed pile. This will show the transverse zones input from the reinforcement input tab and auto populate the first bars list row.
Bar List Table
The bar list table is a table that can be expanded upon to include all bars in the current design project. The cells that show purple are editable while cells not colored are auto populated based on other factors in the design. If this is deemed unnecessary it may be turned off in the setting panel.
Cross-Sectional View
The cross sectional view is a cut section of the pile detailing the prestressing strand and the transverse reinforcement. Prestressing strand is dimensioned to center of strand.
Custom Image Import
The custom image import allows for the addition of four unique pile drawings to be displayed. This section is broken into two sections per image.
The image - The actual drawing to be displayed
The Title - The area under the image with contains text describing the image
Lifter & Dunnage View
The lifter and dunnage view shows where the program has its lifters and dunnage points set. This view uses relative pile locations as defined in the Table of Properties. Under the title is the design length the program was run with to verify if the lift points will be valid for all relative locations.
General Notes
The general notes input allows the designer to input their own custom notes either by typing or by selecting the import button option and selecting a text file. The font size is customizable with the buttons in the top right.
Pile Embedments Table & Material Specification
The pile embedments table is included to allow for the input of any pile embedments included in the project. If this is deemed unnecessary it may be turned off in the setting panel. Below the embedments table is the material specification table which includes general information on the pile’s material. This table can be customized with the settings panel.
Company Logo #1
This space is designated for a company logo. Typically reserved for the client company.
Initials & Date Block
This section is designed to be for documentation of progress throughout the period of drawing.
Company Logo #2
This space is designated for a company logo. Typically reserved for the designer company.
Title Block
The title block for the drawing. This shows the project name and location as defined in the Project Settings input. Custom text relating to the project may be written in the block under project information. The drawing may be given a title and drawing number if desired in the bottom two blocks to more uniquely identify the drawing.
Table of Properties
The table of properties allows for the designer to define multiple piles based on the same design. For piles with multiple lengths and the same cross-section this table allows the designer to show this. The length and quantity may be updated, when this happens the rest of the table will be updated automatically.
