Terminations

The Modify Handrail Components window allows you to modify the termination components for the handrail. The Terminations tab is populated with a list of all the terminations which are used for handrails, along with other details.

Details

The Details part of the Modify Handrail Components window allows you to modify the details and attributes of the selected termination

To modify the specification of the selected termination, from the Spec drop-down list, select the required specification. The selected termination is modified to reflect the change in specification, for example the spacing pads become an end dee section.

To modify the connected element reference for the component, click Pick Termination Connection Element.

You are prompted to Pick connection element for selected items:

Pick a connection element in the 3D view.

Valid elements for connection are:

• GENSEC

• PANE

• WALL

• GWALL

• CTWALL

• STWALL

• FLOOR

The currently connected element is highlighted red in the 3D view.

If required, you can use the positioning functionality to modify the position attributes and properties of the termination

To modify the position attributes of the termination:

To modify the justification line of the selected termination, from the Justify drop-down list, select Centre, Forward, Back, Right and Left.

ZDistance - The horizontal distance from the start point along the RPATH to the selected termination.

ZOffset - The vertical distance from the route path to the termination, the position of the termination also depends on the selected justification. The termination position for a handrail is taken from the assembly.

XOffset - The horizontal distance from the route path to the termination in the assembly, the position of the selected termination for the handrail is taken from the assembly.

By default the Rail Xoffset check box is selected, this means the rail offset aligns with the XOffset.

Length (Cut Back) - the default (0mm) displays, in order to add terminations cut the rail, modify as required.

Multiple Selection

If required, you can select and modify multiple terminations, select the required terminations from the list of available terminations. The terminations are labelled in the 3D view. From the Modify Handrail Components window modify the details and attributes as required.

You can also pick, add or delete a termination from the 3D view.
