Adding an access opening to a Handrail element using the functionality in the form below will create the Handrail offspring of Handrail Feature for the ownership and management of Handrail Gate elements of which there can be multiple Handrail Gate elements per Handrail Feature.
Populating the form grid object with the Handrail Gate data is done using the Add Gate link, once picked the system will prompt you to 'Pick position to insert GATE:' as indicated below. A graphical indication on the Handrail element will derive a position along the Handrail path and a graphical preview of the position and size will be displayed along with a numerical identifier corresponding to the number of Handrail Gate's in the Platform Feature. The X/Y position of the Handrail Gate is derived by the system from the path of the Routing Path element, the Handrail Gate origin is at the centre of the opening and coincident with the Platform elevation.
The data for 'Width' in the form grid object is the default size for the 'Width' attribute and can be modified directly in the form grid by highlighting and editing in place.
Accepting the changes will commit the changes to the database and the system will update the graphics after first resolving the post spacing due to the addition of the Handrail Gate opening.
