Sub-components

To allow the same sub-component across Building Applications, consideration must be given the types of elements that could own the sub-components. The element types are:

1. Cataloged component - thickness given by first owning design parameter.

2. Floor component - thickness given by LOHE.

3. General wall component - thickness given by user.

To make sure the correct rotation of the subcomponent, use 3 PTPOS for each SFIT element. Use P100, P101, and P102 for 3 axes and make sure all geometry positioned relative to these points:

for example, Ptcpos Z (ATTRIB RPRO DEPL) X (ATTRIB E)Y (ATTRIB N) WRT OWNER OF OWNER.

For holes, add p-points around the contour with a purpose of HOLE, PBOR for the radius (for curved shapes) and Pdistance equal to the thickness of the component, for example:

Pdistance ( ATTRIB RPRO PROF )

Pbore (ATTRIB RPRO RADI )

Purpose HOLE

They are used by the kicker function when tracing a hole with a kicker.
