Hierarchical Relationships of ASL Assemblies

The ASL elements of Stair Tower, Stair Flight, Ladder, Platform and Handrail are all POS/ORI elements whose hierarchical ownership is that of a STRU. The ASL elements should be considered as fabrications in their own right as they in turn own specific objects fulfilling an engineering function whose naming convention reflects the engineering function.

See the hierarchy view and descriptions below:

The descriptions and functions of these elements will be explained in the following sections.

These objects have been architected to suit specific functionality and workflow to provide definite engineering purpose and their attribute set accurately mirrors the engineering criteria for that object. The attributes are evaluated by the system in response to the user’s interaction with the 3D model environment and the relevant attributes are managed through the database hierarchy by the ASL application.
