Elements Used in Both Types of Catalog Section/Category

The following elements may be used in either type of Catalog Section or Category:

• 3D P-point Set (PTSET) (usually abbreviated to 3D Pointset) - a definition of the position, direction, connection type and bore of a Component’s P-points, for example, to be used by Model, Isodraft.

• 3D Geometry Set (GMSET) (usually abbreviated to 3D Geomset) - a grouping of 3D primitive elements, defining the dimensions, orientation and obstruction geometry of each primitive. Used by Model and the Drawing modules.

• Data Set (DTSET) (usually abbreviated to Dataset) - a grouping of DATA elements, holding any Catalog data not stored more specifically elsewhere and which is required for use in Model or Draw; for example, the cross-sectional area of a structural steel member calculated from its parameterized dimensions.

• Detailing Text (DTEX) - elements containing general descriptive text relating to a Component. Referred to from SPCOM elements in the Specification. For further information, refer to Detailing Text.

• Material Text (MTEX) - elements containing text describing the material(s) from which the physical Component is constructed. Referred to from SPCOM elements in the Specification. For further information Material Text.
