Curtin Wall Kits/Curtain Wall Kits

From Opera Wiki

work in progress

N.B: Although it is possible to manually load the accessories to match the slabs and frame cuts, we recommend using the Curtain Wall Kits, which allow you to create an archive of kits to be applied to the facade mullions, and thus create and customize different systems for anchoring the facade to the floors.

Description of the framework

Type/System/Series: fields for type, system or series selection.

• File:=.png: keys that enable insertion, deletions, editing and duplication of useful kits for the facade.
• Type: from the paired menu you can select the type of kit we are interested in File:Menukitfacciata.png
• Name: name of the kit.
• System/Series: fields to select the System and Series reference of the kit.
• Desc.: field for kit description.
• The button : opens the Manage facade kit icon panel.
• The button File:Tastogestionekit.png: opens the Frame Cut Data frame in case the Frame Cut Type is selected or the Slab Accessories frame in case the Slab Type is selected, for which see the previous section.

For the use of both frameworks, see the chapter How to make a curtain wall in the floor Management and Frame Cut Management sections.

In this way, when designing a curtain wall, you will not have to manually load individual accessories to go with the solarium or frame cut, but you will be able to retrieve them automatically from the kit you have just created. There are several systems of anchoring to the slabs, and you can load all of them: the program, at the design stage, finding more than one, will ask which system to use.

Management of facade kits continues in the Design Sheet

In this example we are matching kit to slabs: the program automatically opens the kit selection panel by calling up the corresponding type; in this case "floors."

If we want to combine the kit with frame cuts, we proceed as seen before; in this case the program opens the selection pane dedicated to "Frame Cut."

In the Material type framework, it is possible to check the accuracy of the final count of accessories.
