See below I have set the Rotation Angle to 5 DegreesĪs you select the -Phi the cone angle changes while you watch.ħ) A simple copy and rotate and you have a full cone. With our rotation, we can rotate in 90 degree increments, or alternatively, by a user angle So change the Layer from PS Shape to PS Plate.Ħ) Now to make our cone. OK, that’s it! So let’s take that all one step at a time.ġ) Draw a 180 Degree Arc with a Radius of 250mmĢ) Insert Bent Shape - Using 100x10 Flat Bar settings as shownģ) Now go to the Shape Properties -> Shape Type and change the Size from 100x10 to Plate 500x10ĥ) Now this is personal preference, but I believe because we have now nominated that our object is Plate, that we should also amend the Layer that it has been modelled on. Rotate our changed plate in increments to create a cone Change the Layer from PS Shape to PS Plate to reflect our changed object Using Naming Conventions – Change the 100x10FL to Plate 500x10 Insert a Bent Shape (100x10 FL) onto the arc If Circle, cut it in half ** we never try to insert a shape on a full circle in ProSteel – It will give you trouble** Now I will start off with the basics and then I will go through different options with you. To create a cone we use the procedure of Naming Conventions and then we modify the new object to change its shape. **Don’t forget, we remove the ‘$’ and the parentheses ‘()’ = RO DxT In our ProSteel Naming Conventions is states:- Pipe/ Tube = RO $(D)x$(T) But here’s where we put our Name expression. Now normally we would choose a different size from the pull-down. We could turn that into a massive bearing Pile 4 Metres in diameter by giving it the Naming Convention formula of:-ģ) Draw a short length of CHS using the settings shown below In ProSteel, if we had a Round Bar – Say Dia 20. So let’s take the first entry of Round Bar/Rod. Now the trick is with the formula that we are given, remove the $ and remove the parentheses (brackets) Here you can see the different Shapes we are allowed to modify. The Special will detail – so if it is an ancillary item you may want to hide it before detailingġ) The first step is to go to our ProSteel Options – That is where we can find our Naming Conventions.Ģ) Go to Shapes, then Naming Conventions.You must follow the naming convention for the required Shape.You must match Shape types – you can’t make a square into a round.These ‘Specials’ perform just like a normal Shape. Naming Conventions allow us to modify a lot of the Shapes that exist in the ProSteel database into ‘one-off specials’
