Creates multiple hole traces in a single process. You can select one or more outfitting parts, structural parts, or both to process.
If you select an outfitting part, the software automatically finds all structural parts that the selected outfitting part penetrates and generates separate hole traces at each intersection point.
If you select a structural part, the software automatically finds all the outfitting parts that penetrate the selected structure and generates separate hole traces at each intersection point.
When you place multiple hole traces, you can define opening properties to better reflect the more granular details of the purpose of the opening or hole, when it is cut, and how it is produced. These properties are grouped into the following categories:
Opening Design Type Properties
Represent the functional purpose of the opening or hole. The design property reflects why the opening exists in the model. Typical design properties include:
-
Permanent Access
-
Temporary Access
-
Lightening (Weight Reduction)
-
Air Escape
-
Liquid Escape
-
Air/Liquid Escape
-
Foothold
-
Martyr
Opening Planning Method Properties
Represent the staging of the opening or hole. The planning property denotes the point in the design and production lifecycle when the cut is physically made. Typical planning properties include:
-
Design
-
Shop (Assembly)
-
Field (Ship)
Opening Production Method Properties
Represent the production method of the opening or hole. The planning property denotes whether the cut is truly cut from the system or part, whether it is marked, bridged, and so forth. Typical production properties include:
-
Cut (Default)
-
Mark
-
Bridge
-
Chill Hole Patch
