Defining the project characteristics
In the "Project" group in the main toolbar, the following project data can be defined:
General options
Allows users to define the system's general options or to import them from the following code specifications:
Options
- Drawing symbols
- Link nodes
- Types of receivers
Selection of standard specifications
- Spain
- Incorporación de los nudos que constituyen las instalaciones de enlace (REBT, ITC-BT-12)
- Portugal
- Incorporação dos nós que constituem as instalações colectivas e as entradas (RTIEBT, Parte 8 / Secção 803)
Details on the above-mentioned facilities are given below.
Drawing symbols
The "Configuration" window is used to define the symbols to be used in the system drawings.
There are three tabs:
- Tags
Allows users to activate or deactivate the information that appears in the element's tags:- Installation
- Link node (reference, elevation)
- Switchboard (reference, elevation, circuits, power supply)
- Junction box (reference, elevation)
- Pattress box (reference, elevation)
- Conduits (reference, elevation, circutis, power supply, length)
- Receivers (reference, type of receiver, elevation, type of load, power, switchboard, circuit)
- Installation
- References
Configures the reference text of the elements:- Link node
- Switchboard
- Junction box
- Pattress box
- Receiver
- Symbols
Allows users to design the symbols of the following elements by means of lines, areas, arcs, circles and text boxes:- Switchboards
- Junction boxes
- Pattress boxes
Link nodes
Allows the design of the link node symbols to be carried out manually or imported from files on disk:
- Designing symbols through lines, areas, arcs, circles and text boxes
- Importing symbols from DXF/DWG and DWF files
The link node types defined here can be loaded later by using the "Link nodes" option in the main toolbar.
This information can be generated automatically by selecting the regulatory specifications of the desired country:
Types of receivers
Allows the types of receivers to be defined by specifying the following parameters:
- Reference
- Type of load (lighting, emergency, electrical socket, motor, lifting device, electric vehicle charging, generic)
- Technical properties
- Symbols
The types of receivers defined here can be loaded later when using the "Receivers", "Assign receivers" or "Assign properties" options in the main toolbar.
BIM model
Allows users to consult and modify the data of the elements entered in the model in a series of tables that include the following information:
- Link nodes: reference, X, Y, Z, angle, type of node, power supply (upstream)
- Switchboards: reference, X, Y, Z, angle,
- Junction boxes: reference, X, Y, Y, Z, angle
- Pattress boxes: reference, X, Y, Y, Z, angle
- Conduits: reference; X1, Y1, Z1 (coordinates of start point); X2, Y2, Z2 (coordinates of end point); power supply; circuits
- Receivers: reference, X, Y, Z, angle, switchboard, circuit, overview
Tree
Allows users to check the elements entered in the model in a drop-down tree of project components on the right-hand side of the screen.
When selecting each component, they light up in red on the model.
