Ladder Database Hierarchy

The Ladder element (LADDER) is a top level administrative element owned by a STRU element.

The LADDER as a steelwork assembly introduces functionality enabling the user to create a rule based LADDER and also introduces a new middle tier hierarchy to enable the decomposition of the LADDER into its individual assemblies of Ladder Stringers, Ladder Rungs, Ladder Safety Cages and Exit locations. Throughout the middle tier hierarchy the offspring of GENSEC and PANEL are used to represent the detail of the 3D model.
