Overview
โข Assigns the Sub-Property defined in the Define step to the sub-shapes (Sub-face, Sub-edge) of actual objects.
โข Assigned Sub-Properties are registered as area or length values in the Quantity of the corresponding object.
โข ย Primary Use Cases :
- Assigning Sub-Property to specific faces (Sub-face) of members for formwork area calculation
- Assigning Sub-Property to outer surfaces of steel members for painting area calculation
- Assigning Sub-Property to specific edges (Sub-edge) of members for segment length information
