Fig. 1 - The profile components window

N.B: To access this window in Opera Job Management: from the Archives menu, select the Profiles button, enable the Profile Auto-selection function, and press the bottom button.

This function allows you to create an auto-selection of profiles through the Options and the Condition menu.

Section 1: profile master data

Name

Shows the name of the component profile.

Section 2: options, conditions, and variables

Condition

In this field you can set the insertion condition of a component; that is, the component may need to be applied only under certain conditions. In fact, if you set Interval, the program enables the fields for defining the variable and the values relating to the insertion parameters. Example:

Option File:Codice.png

The button opens the link to the option selection. This field is associated with the STD and Cond. fields, which determine the type of insertion of the component into the structure. In this regard, it is recommended to refer to the paragraph dedicated to the Typology options table.

STD

By enabling this field, the program considers the component loading option as the standard choice. This function is useful when several components must be loaded according to the option type.

Cond.

If this field is active, the program will not request the option in the Typology data and will use it only as a condition, automatically.

Section 3: component cutting rules

Left angle and Right angle

This is the value used to determine the cutting angles of the component profile when they are different from those of the compound profile. The default value is auto and sets the component cuts equal to those of the compound profile.

Compound left and Compound right

These fields allow you to manage the compound cutting angles on the left and right side. The value auto indicates that the angles are managed automatically by the program.

Exclude from cutting

If enabled, excludes the component from the cutting list.

Cut assembly

Allows you to manage the cutting of the component in relation to the assembly.

Perpendicular diff.

Allows you to set a perpendicular difference for the component.

Axial difference

Allows you to set an axial difference for the component.

Formula

Allows you to enter a calculation formula for the component cutting rule.

Section 4: additional component settings

Position

Allows you to define the position of the component.

Color rule

In this field it is possible to associate a color rule.

Type

Allows you to define the component type.

Separate finish

If enabled, manages the component with a separate finish.

Finish

Allows you to select the finish associated with the component.

Exclude arch

Excludes the component from arch management.

Do not trim stave

If enabled, the stave is not trimmed.

Panel trimming

Allows you to manage the panel trimming.

Joint side

Allows you to define the joint side of the component.

Specify reinforcements

Allows you to specify reinforcements linked to the component.

Structure type

Allows you to define the structure type connected to the component.

Section 5: exclusion and positioning options

Exclude Operations

Allows you to exclude the operations associated with the component.

Frequency

Allows you to define the frequency of use or application of the component.

Merge at the edges

Allows you to define whether the component must be merged at the edges.

Offset

Allows you to define an offset for positioning the component.

Notching position

Indicates the notching position of the component, expressed in millimeters.

Invert component

If enabled, inverts the component.

Conn. bar position

Allows you to define the connection bar position.

Internal head depth

Indicates the internal head depth, expressed in millimeters.

External head depth

Indicates the external head depth, expressed in millimeters.
