LINEAR Solutions 26 for AutoCAD

Move Components or Component Groups by Height Parameter

Shows step by step how to move individual components or multiple components simultaneously using a height parameter in the LINEAR Properties in a drawing.

Before you begin

You want to change the height of one or more components simultaneously using a height parameter.

Note: Component parameters are used to move individual components. These parameters are only available in the 3D planning types and 2.5D Model Planning in the discipline Architecture. Virtual parameters are used to move component groups. These are available in all planning types except 2D - Scheme Planning.

LINEAR Properties in the LINEAR Solutions for Autodesk AutoCAD

Procedure

  1. Select the component or components to be moved in the drawing.

    In the LINEAR properties, all parameters of the component or components are displayed.

  2. Adjust the value of one of the following height parameters in the Model - Position section of the LINEAR Properties so that the component or components are moved accordingly in the drawing.
    • Available height parameters when selecting a component:
      • Distance between UE (upper edge) component and BE (bottom edge)
      • Distance between (bottom edge) component and UEFFL (upper edge finished floor)
      • Distance between BE Component and UEUFFL (upper edge unfinished floor)
    • Available height parameters when selecting multiple components:
      Note: The height ratio between the components remains unchanged when they are moved.
      • Distance between UE component selection and BEC (bottom edge ceiling)
      • Distance between BE component selection and UEFFL
      • Distance between BE component selection and UEUFFL
      Tip: If necessary, click to the right of the selected input field for a height parameter to open the Storey Table and define the offset using the storey table.
    The adjustment of the parameter value is transferred to the two other height parameters not used for the replacement.
  3. If necessary, move the cursor to the drawing area so that the replacement is displayed in the drawing.
  4. Reconnect the displaced components to the pipes or ducts if necessary. To do this, use the corresponding connection functions of the LINEAR Solutions.

Results

You have moved one or more components simultaneously using a height parameter in the drawing.
