It has been standard detailing procedure in North Americato place the marked (left) end of each piece at the proper location on theerection drawing so that the erector will know the proper orientation of eachpiece to be installed on site. It appears that Advance steel does not have thiscapability. Does anyone have a system to ensure that the pieces are erected inthe proper orientation? Someone suggested that we use the compass symbol so that every piece will havea N,S,E,W on the shop drawings. The problem with this system is that it willcreate alot more shop drawings. Pieces which would normally be detailed as thesame mark are now different just because of the compass direction marks. Thiscreates more editing and more time on site finding the correct piece to beerected.
End plate views are normally placed at the left/right end of the beam (or top/bottom for column drawing styles, where the main part is detailed vertically). This behaviour can't be modified, and the end plate views will always be placed at the left/right end, with an orientation that matches the main part orientation in the front view.
Please attach more information about the requested orientation of those views in your case.
This is similar to the standard in Australia. The Mark (Part Label) on the Plan or GA should be towards one end of the member and the "Mark" on the Detail drawing is placed in a similar location. Can the position of the Part Label, along a member be controlled on the Plans or Ga ? if this is possible a dummy symbol could be added to say 500mm along from the Left of the member detail via a connection could it not ? Please advise
