Cardinal Points

The diagram illustrates the positions of the Intergraph FrameWorks Cardinal Points. FrameWorks cannot handle Cardinal Points above Point 10, but for this interface it is expected that all interfaces in this project are able to handle all 14.

On transfer between systems, the Cardinal Point imported should be retained for later export. A source of confusion can be when a member originally laid out on Cardinal Point 14 (Top of Steel) is returned on the Cardinal Point 10 (Neutral Axis). It causes minor problems in model versioning and comparisons.
