SS7 Drawing Production Theory

Structural steel

Design drawings (general arrangements), steel placing drawings, Shop drawings (AISC shown – similar world-wide):

Concrete

Design drawings and rebar placing drawings (CRSI shown – similar world-wide):

“Reinforcing bar placing drawings… provide the details and placing instructions

so that the ironworkers can set the reinforcing bars into place in the formwork”.Slide6

Some structural software products use the same workflow for structural steel drawings

and concrete drawings

:

Structural steel fabrication drawings are a combination of design drawings, single part drawings + placing drawings.

Concrete drawing production: Design drawings convey design intent of concrete and rebarRebar typically fabricated from bar schedules and/or bar tagsRebar placing drawings are for placing rebar and often re-use the design drawingsBentley’s Rebar2PC project (2013-2014): Driver: Concrete Drawing ProductionNeed to display, label, dimension concrete shapes like a user wants to.Need to display, label, dimension rebar like a user wants to.

ProStructures

SS7:

Dynamic

Views

are the recommended best-practice method for producing drawings for concrete and rebar drawings. DetailCenter remains the recommended best practice to produce steel fabrication drawings (and remains an option for concrete drawing production as well). Note: for precast concrete panels and other similar concrete objects, DetailCenter may be the best option.

SS7 Drawing Production Theory

ProConcrete

SS7 provides two methods of displaying 3D rebar in drawings:

1) 2D views of the 3D rebar without any

symbolization

(drawing on left below)

2) 2D symbolic graphics (drawing on right below)

Part 2) Dynamic Views Workflow

Definition

of “Dynamic Views”: (source:

MicroStation

Help file):

Dynamic Views is a general name that encompasses several related technologies which share a common goal of making model analysis and documentation more interactive and intuitive. Gone are the days when designs were just static [snapshot] views. They are replaced by the ability to create live, intelligent sections of a design composition that update automatically (through the use of detailing symbols with fields and links) as the design evolves.Slide12

All Rebar in

ProConcrete

must belong to a concrete object -

either a ProConcrete parametric object or a promoted solid.In the SS7 release, the 3D Rebar and the concrete object must be placed in the same DGN file.Rebar may protrude outside the extents of it’s owner concrete (including entirely outside), and may extend over multiple other concrete objects.Concrete and Rebar objects both have their own levels( ) colors, line weights, etc.ProConcrete Workflow (Modeling)

3D DGN

File Slide19

All Drawing models

with 2D symbolic rebar

must be saved to the 3D DGN file containing the concrete and rebar.
