Assigning specific covers for each floor slab

The "Assign covers" option, within the "Slabs" menu on the "Beam input" tab, allows you to assign covers to slabs that are either the same as or different from those entered in the general project data.

To do this, after clicking on this tool, you can choose one of the following options:

  • If you select "General project data", the program will use the data entered under "Project > General data > By position > Common options for bars > Overlaps".
  • If you select "Specific for the panel, you will need to specify the required cover depth for the selected slab.

This is possible for all panel types for which finishes can be defined:

  • In waffle slabs and flat slabs, the top and bottom geometric and mechanical cover thicknesses are specified,
  • In joist floors and composite slabs, the top, bottom and side covers are specified,
  • and for lightweight panels, mechanical fastening is specified.

Next, click on "Assign" and select the panels on the floor plan to which you wish to assign the data. In the pop-up window, you can also use the "Select" option to copy the data from a selected panel on the floor plan, "Assign to all" to assign the data to all panels on the floor plan, or "Cancel" to close the window.

Further on, in the "Project data list", under the "Cover" section, the various cladding options defined for the facades will be shown, where applicable.
