(API) macro for creating panel profiles from bars

Rafal.Gaweda — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:54:04 GMT

It should work for most of steel database sections,and most of parametric and tapered steel sections

Assuptions:

- panels are created in mid "walls" planes

- thicknesses should be corectly recognized and applied

- tapered thickness (of defined for tapered member) is not considered

Example:

Very nice Rafal!!

it works even for tapered pipes!!

Is there a way to control the number of segments that form the circle?

Did my best 🙂

Circle segments : edit macro and find

Ndiv parameter for quarter of the circle

If (R <= 0.2) Then
    NDiv = 3
Else
    If (R > 0.2 And R <= 0.4) Then
        NDiv = 4
    Else
        NDiv = 5
    End If
End If

Is it possible to implement this feature to RSA, could you kindly share this feedback with development team?

Thanks
