Anchors are related to the coordinate system of the baseplate not to the concrete block.
Anchors are related to the coordinate system of the baseplate not to the concrete block.
Is that a change of version 21.0 respect to old versions (20.1 & 20.0)?
AnchorGrid
has its own local coordinate system (LCS), so ... shouldn't be taken into account to set the position of anchors ?
And concerning the concrete block itself and the other questions? Thanks Jorge
Hello, let me clarify this for you, sorry for the previous incomplete answer.
1) The reason for the change is that in version 21.0, the AnchorGrids and BoltGrids now have their own coordinate systems. When deciding the position of the concrete block, we take both coordinate systems (Plate and AnchorGrid) into account in the following manner:
var dotNormals = WM.Vector3D.DotProduct(boltGridNormal, basePlateNormal); if (dotNormals > 0) { connectorGridData.PlateSide = PlateSideCode.UpperSide; } else { connectorGridData.PlateSide = PlateSideCode.LowerSide; }
The best bet is to have them both in accordance with each other.
2) The whole ConcreteBlockData class is expendable for the purpose of import. It has been mostly used internally for the purpose of exporting the concrete block geometry itself (to .dwg for example). For your purpose, you only need to fill the AnchorGrid.ConcreteBlock data.
3) As for the missing properties, thank you for bringing that up, we'll look into it.
Closing this question, it is considered to be resolved. Feel free to reopen.
Hi, I would like to ask you what has changed in concrete block definition in version 21.0.0.3277 respect to previous versions 20.1.5544.1 and 20.0.104.57553. In the following screenshots I compare the concrete block position of the same iom in these 3 versions, and in the latest version (21.0.0.3277) the side of the concrete block and anchor bolts seem to be changed from previous versions:
I would also like to request you to improve IOM about the definition of the concrete block where the anchor bolt are embedded. Currently there is a property
AnchorGrid.ConcreteBlock
with few properties that has "no relation" withConnectionData.ConcreteBlocks
where concrete blocks have a comprehensive definition.BTW, could you provide help about what is the difference between
ConcreteBlockData.Origin
andConcreteBlockData.Center
?I would like also to inform you that the
OriginalModelId
property is not fetched when I get the connection data from the current/active connection inCode Check Manager
.And also the name is lost.
Best regards Jorge
