To delete "old" center of gravity points??

  • Hi.


    Just wondering - is it possible in wall design or somewhere else to delete all previous center of gravity points and start on a fresh??


    I think - but I am not sure, that is I check the weight of inside and outside layer of concrete sandwich elements in D-Cam in Object info, this creates points if gravity for each of these layers? But then when I am ready with the project, I would like in wall design to create center of gravity for all walls and for the complete wall. But then, there will be several points. So thinking if it would be possible to "clean the board" at that point??

    That is not possible and not necessary. Each volume can have its center of gravity and the wall can have another center of gravity.

  • Well - maybe not necessary, but it can be a little confusing to look at 3 or more center of gravity points on the wall, because I use the wall center of gravity to place the lifting inserts after. So it would be nice to be able to "clear the board" first, before I calculate all walls center of gravity.

    The gravity center of a single volume is deleted automatically when the volume is changed. In this case it would be enough to change the color. Changing the color does not really have a meaning for the gravity center but the program realizes this as changing of the volume.


    Anyway, the gravity center have the color of the volumes and the gravity center of the wall is blue. With this it should be possible to see the gravity center of the wall beside the gravity center of the single volumes.

  • Yes, I am aware that center of gravity for wall has another color than the other center of gravity. It is mostly a conveniance question. But with what you say, I could in princip just select all concrete in D-cam, change color to something else and then change color back to concrete. That wouldn't take long time.
