TCS Elements Manager

»TCS elements manager« is a tool used for zooming to a specific cross-section or elements within the cross-section views. After running this command a modeless dialog box opens, which stays open while you’re able to work with other commands. You can zoom to a specific cross-section in the list by simply clicking on it, or use arrow keys to move up or down in the list and select any cross-section.

Profile view

1. Run the TCS Elements Manager command.

This command offers two options for viewing cross-sections:

• zoom by profiles or
• zoom by elements.

2. At the beginning click on the button and the list of all cross-sections in the drawing will be shown in this dialog.

3. Then select profile P1 in the list.

4. In the drop-down menu select the custom scale and click on the button . Then go to the drawing and draw a rectangle around the first cross-section. When the rectangle is drawn, the software automatically zooms in this cross-section.

5. Next you can arbitrarily edit a particular cross-section, and the TCS element manager will remain open.

6. Run the Insert Block command.

7. In the drop-down menu select the block and specify in which cross-section the block should be drawn.
