Create Floor Fittings

Creates a Single Floor Fitting (PFIT) which can be used to represent any type of geometric entity that is owned by, and positioned relative to, a floor.

All of the tasks that are associated with the creation of a single floor fitting are initiated from the Floor Fittings window which acts as a task hub.

Aid lines display in the 3D view to indicate the origin for the fitting.

The functionality available from the Floor Fittings window is identical to that available from Wall Fittings window (refer to Create Wall Fittings for further information) with the exception of the Positioning part of the window.

Reference Datum

The reference datum allows you to specify the positioning of the fitting within the thickness of the floor/screed and the direction of fitting with respect to the floor/screed.

From the Positioning part of the Floor Fittings window, select the reference datum from the drop-down list.

The location of the fitting on the floor is set by the input of the X Position and Y position. These two dimensions are measured from the origin of the owning wall indicated by the aid line in the graphic display.

Select Position fitting to display the Positioning Control window, you are prompted to Position Floor Fitting (Snap) Snap to position the fitting directly on the floor. Refer to Positioning Control for further information.

Click Apply to insert the floor fitting or click Cancel to discard any information and close the Floor Fittings window.

Compound Floor Fitting

Creates a Compound Floor Fitting (CMPF) which can own a number of Floor Sub-Fittings (SBFI).

All of the tasks that are associated with the creation of a compound floor fitting are initiated from the Floor Fittings window which acts as a task hub. By default, Create Compound is selected.

The functionality available is identical to floor fittings. Refer to Create Floor Fittings for further information.

Floor Sub-Fitting

Creates Floor Sub-Fitting (SBFI) components which can be owned by a Compound Floor Fitting (CMPF) and can be modified as a group. For example, if a table is created as a compound floor fitting, chairs can be created as floor sub-fittings owned by the table. If the table position is changed the chairs move with it.

All of the tasks that are associated with the creation of a floor sub-fitting are initiated from the Floor Fittings window which acts as a task hub. By default, Create Sub-Compound is selected.

The functionality available is identical to floor fittings. Refer to Create Floor Fittings for further information.
