Displays the wall properties that you can edit or that are automatically determined by the software at placement. The property name appears on the left side of the grid and the corresponding property value appears on the right side of the grid. If you selected more than one wall and then selected the properties command, only the common properties between the selected walls display.
When viewing properties for a single wall, the following properties display. More properties may display depending on what you defined in the reference data. Refer to the Structure Reference Data Help for more information on properties.
Category
Specifies the properties category to view. Select Standard, Weight and CG, and Dimensions.
Standard
The standard properties that display depend on the reference data for the wall. Because wall reference data is fully customizable, only the common properties are documented.
Parent System
Select the system to which the wall belongs.
Name
Displays the name of the wall. The wall name is based on the Naming Rule selection. If you want to type a new name for the wall, in the Naming Rule box, select User Defined, and then type a name for the wall in the Name box.
Naming Rule
Specify the naming rule that you want to use to name this wall.
Default Name Rule
Names the wall using the format "WallPart-<location>-<index>" where <location> is the global workshare location ID and <index> is a unique index number that starts at 0001. For example, WallPart-1-0043.
Unique Name Rule
Names the wall using the format "WallPart-<location>-<index>" where <location> is the global workshare location ID and <index> is a unique index number that starts at 0001. For example, WallPart-1-0043.
User Defined
Select to specify the wall part name yourself in the Name box.
Composition
Displays the composition of the wall.
Reporting Requirement
Specify whether or not this wall part is reported.
Reporting Type
Select the reporting requirements code for the wall part. Valid selections are defined in the Catalog task in the Reporting Type select list.
Dimensions
Total Volume
Specifies the volume of the slab or wall (length × width × height).
Net Volume
Specifies the volume of the wall minus the volumes of all openings in the wall.
Total Surface
Specifies the surface area of the slab or wall (top surface plus the bottom surface plus the side surfaces × length).
Net Surface
Specifies the surface area of the slab or wall minus the surface area of all the openings in the slab or wall.
Projected Surface
Specifies the surface area of the wall's bottom surface.
Net Projected Surface
Specifies the surface area of the wall's bottom surface minus the surface area of all openings in the wall.
Length
Specifies the object length.
Weight and CG
Displays the center-of-gravity and the weight of the selected object. The center-of-gravity locations are displayed relative to the active coordinate system along the X-, Y-, and Z-axes. The weight value that is displayed in the properties dialog box is calculated as the material density multiplied by the object's solid volume. Therefore, the material of the object affects the weight value that is displayed here. Check the material assigned to the object if the weight displayed is an improbable value. For the most accurate weight calculation, use the Tools > Run Reports command.
Dry Weight
Specifies the dry weight of the object.
Wet Weight
Specifies the wet weight of the object.
For equipment, Wet Weight is the sum of Dry Weight and Wet Weight. The Dry Weight and Wet Weight values are catalog properties defined on the part sheet for the equipment.
Dry CG X
Specifies the X-axis location of the dry center-of-gravity.
Dry CG Y
Specifies the Y-axis location of the dry center-of-gravity.
Dry CG Z
Specifies the Z-axis location of the dry center-of-gravity.
Wet CG X
Specifies the X-axis location of the wet center-of-gravity.
Wet CG Y
Specifies the Y-axis location of the wet center-of-gravity.
Wet CG Z
Specifies the Z-axis location of the wet center-of-gravity.
Fabrication and Construction
Fabrication Requirement
Specifies the fabrication requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Fabrication Type select list in Catalog.
Rule Driven
Specifies that a rule drives the value. This is the default option. Click to switch to User Driven .
User Driven
Allows you to select a value. Click to switch to Rule Driven .
Fabrication Type
Specifies the type of fabrication for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Fabrication Type select list in Catalog.
Rule Controlled
Specifies that a rule defined for a parent property controls the value. If Rule Controlled does not display, you can select a value.
Construction Requirement
Specifies the construction requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Construction Requirement select list in Catalog.
Construction Type
Specifies the type of construction for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Construction Type select list in Catalog.
Responsibility
