Settings for adding lifters can be configured to specify how to position the lifters and which Revit family to use for the types of lifters. Walls, beams and columns each have their own settings.

Position

All types of parts have the same settings for positioning lifters.

Open

There are five methods for positioning lifters:

• Relative Position will use the same relative position (such as 0.2 L) as defined in the design file.

• Nearest End will use the end nearest to the location.

• From Center will use the distance from the center of the member.

• From End will use the distance from the far side of the member.

• From Start will use the distance from the near side of the member.

Family Type and Type Name

To place lifters into the model, a family type and type name must be defined for the two types of lifters for each part. The name of the family and the type are entered into the appropriate fields. The values entered must match the family and type names exactly for Sync to find them.

Walls

For walls, families and types can be defined for face and edge lifters. The Handling tab in Eriksson Wall defines the stages to use lifters and the positioning of the lifters. Lifters can be shown for the Stripping, Primary Erection, and Secondary Erection stages. For any stage, lifters placed exactly at the bottom or top of the wall are defined as edge lifters and all others are face lifters.

Open

Beams

Families and types for beams can be defined for top and side lifters. The Structural Model tab in Eriksson Beam defines the stages to use lifters and the positioning of the lifters.

Columns

For columns, families and types can be set for face and end lifters. The Handling tab in Eriksson Column defines the stages to use lifters and the positioning of the lifters. Lifters can be shown for the Stripping, Primary Erection, and Secondary Erection stages. For any stage, lifters placed exactly at the bottom or top of the column are defined as end lifters and all others are face lifters.
