The GTP WireWorks Identify Offsets tool is designed to allow the user to quickly identify offsets in the current view
Workflow
1. Set up and map parameters in the Offset settings per the following:
- Offset ID - (Text type of parameter)
- Rise - (Length type of parameter)
- Run - (Length type of parameter)
- Length - (Length type of parameter)
- Rotation Angle - (Text type of parameter)
- Bend Summary - Lists the bend angle uses (Text type of parameter)
Here is the dimensional logic on an offset:
2. Activate the command from the Add-Ins > External Tools dropdown or map a keyboard shortcut to the function.
3. Tag and schedule on body components.
4. The following details are representative of how the dimension values are being populated.
Conduits are mathematically analyzed to identify offsets and kicks independently as well as the angle and dimensions of the offset all written to parameters that have been mapped on the offsets tab in the setup
