The Occurrence tab displays in a grid the handrail 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 handrail, and then selected the properties command, only the common properties between the selected handrails display.

When viewing properties for a single handrail, 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

Select the properties that you want to view for the handrail. Handrail properties are divided into several different categories: Standard, Weight and CG, Fabrication and Construction, Surface Treatment and Coating, and Responsibility. You select the category to define respective values by using the Category option.

Standard

The standard properties that display depend on the reference data for the handrail. Because handrail reference data is fully customizable, only the common properties are documented.

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 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.

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.

Specifies the way in which the dry weight center-of-gravity location is defined. The list is defined by the WCGOrigin codelist.

Computed

Indicates that the software calculates the origin location.

Defined

Indicates that you want to manually define the dry weight center-of-gravity location relative to the active coordinate system.
