Grating - wrong dimensions and weight in detail drawing

[kaptcatb]

Hello all,

Working on some platforms with grating on top of them. Some of gratings are standard S235JRG, some of them are made from FRP. Attaching grating parts from model and created detailed drawing. Problem parts are colored in yellow in attached model - P293 and P294. 

As you can see for FRP gratings,given automatic dimensions are wrong, weight of those parts are also wrong.

P292 is also FRP, but correctly dimensioned , still wrong weight. Only difference with P293/294 - it has no cut outs [?].

Weight of parts - I assume I do something wrong - all other parts are fine (with default material). I create grating as polyline, then use grating to polyline. In properties I change material from "from database" to "variable" and pick FRP from material list. Weight of part keeps the same as steel grating .. 

About wrong dimensions in detail drawing for P293/P294 - totally no idea what happend. I tried various default templates to generate views, result is the same with all - grating is scaled / wrong dimensions and missing cut outs.

Any ideas what I did wrong? Im using AS2021

Thanks in advance

If the problem is not easy to solve, any idea of how to work around this issue?

Set material to default in order generate correct detailed drawing => but how to edit BoM structure list ( material and weight listed here are not correct ) ..?

Hello @Anonymous and @kaptcatb 

maybe a begining of solution:

the symbol of direction of the grating is wrong see below:

i suppose it was creatig in a wrong ucs and Advance may lost his mind.

Hello @AntDrt , 

The yellow grating shown in the picture is part of a small hinged hatch made from steel profiles ( not shown in the model ) and mentioned FRP grating.  Steel profiles / this grating are created in world CS. Once I created them, I rotated the steel frame/ FRP around the hinge in order to check the maximum angle of the opening. Then all objects are returned to the initial state. The grating direction symbol remains as per rotated position.

I don't have access to AS right now but definitely would try to recreate grating later. 

Thanks for the tips!

Not sure what you have done with the grating direction to make the symbol point that way.

I created two new gratings, one steel and one GRP.

The weights are different because they are set in MT with weights per square metre.

Hello,

 @AntDrt  - after I recreate grating - There was no problem this time. Thank you for the tip about the grating symbol!

@mick-CNF  - I have created a polyline with desired dimensions of FRP grating, then I have converted it into grating and changed its material into FRP. After I changed the material from steel to FRP, the weight of this part remains the same. In the property window, its value is grey.

Checked into AstorGrating - I believe my grating is variable type - there's no added data for 40mm. Can this cause the problem?

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

The grating weight is set by the weight in your second image.

I had a look at the Webforge brochure and those three are the only ones I could see.

The material changes the weight on plates and beams.
