In most cases a project is calculated based on a profile systems and based on a certain color. Although in the applications options the default materials can be set(systems, profile color. etc.) Ra Workshop allows the setting of the materials at a project level. Setting a material set at a project level doesn’t influence the windows and doors from the project. These settings have only a default parameter value that will be added later.
Choosing the materials implies setting the following parameters:
- Material type. Material used in the project (PVC, aluminum and wood).
- Profile System. Profile system that will load as default for each component.
- Profile Colors. Default color of profiles: laminating for PVC, RAL color in case of aluminum and the essence for the wood.
- Glass. Default glass for each component. Depending on the glass thickness the glazing beads and gaskets will be calculated.
- Fittings Plan. Establishes the way in which the application will calculate the component's fittings. This parameter will be set automatically when choosing a system.
- Labor Plan. Establishes the way in which the application will calculate the labor work. This parameter will be set automatically when choosing a system.
Change materials on a project
Often enough there are requests for a project transfer from a
system to another or from a color to another. To do this choose the
new materials and at the end press the button Component
Change. The application will run through all components and
will change the old default materials with the new default
materials.
Recommendation: a transfer like this can make substantial changes to the project (especially to the materials needed). It is recommended that after the change every component should be analyzed to see if all the modification have been made.
