Sheathing Properties

You can select the sheathing properties in the dialog box displayed.

Material Code

Select from the list. The available options are loaded from the sheathing database d_SHEETLIB. The materials in the sheathing database need to be defined in the d_LBMAT database.

Sheet code

After selecting the material code, you can select the sheet code from the Sheet code list. The sheet code determines the sheet size and other properties.

Thickness

Thickness has the default value DEFAULT, which is determined by the thickness of the sheathing layer. You can also type another value in the field.

Set

The property defines the method of representation and drawing properties of the sheathing in the 2D drawing and 3D model. The set can be e.g. FLOOR, ROOF or CEILING. The set properties are defined in the keyword group BDSXX using the keyword sheathing_param.

Sheathing

The property determines the position of the seams. Select one of the following options from the list:

• GRID - The sheets are positioned in the sheathing area so that their seams are continuous.

  

• OVERLAP - By selecting this option, you can make the seams overlap.

  

• CONTINUE - A continuous sheathing style to minimize material waste. The sheathing seams are placed so that the left over parts of one row can be used on the next row of sheets.

  

Form

The property determines how the sheets are cuts at the edges of the sheathing area. By selecting DEFAULT from the list, the sheets are cut according to the edges of the area. By selecting FULL, the sheets at the edge are not cut.

Execute

The sheathing is added when you have selected the Execute check box. If you do not select the check box, no sheathing will be added to the area, but you will have defined the sheathing properties.
