The Handrails node defines the handrail part classes that you want to add to your catalog and hence to your model. The handrails that are delivered are samples. Do not directly edit the sample handrails to create your custom handrails. We recommend that you copy the handrail, and then edit the copy.
When creating your handrails, there are custom attributes and required attributes. You can add your custom attributes using the Custom Interfaces Sheet (described in the Reference Data Guide).
Handrail part classes can optionally use a custom user interface with keywords in the name to display custom handrail properties on the ribbon bar during placement. Again, these custom attributes must be defined on the Custom Interfaces sheet. The IJUA_HRTypeX_ custom user interface provides:
-
HRTypeX_SOSHRConnectionType - Displays a custom connection type codelist.
-
HRTypeX_SPSHRBeginTreatment - Displays a custom end type codelist for the beginning of the handrail.
-
HRTypeX_SPSHREndTreatment - Displays a custom end type codelist for the end of the handrail.
The required attributes used by IJHandrailProperties interface must be defined for each handrail part class that you define. The required attributes are:
Part Number
Type a part number for the handrail. The part number must be unique across the entire catalog.
Part Description
Type a description for the handrail.
Mirror Behavior Option
Specify the mirror behavior of the handrail part.
Horizontal Offset
Enter the horizontal offset from the defined handrail path to the handrail.
Begin Treatment
Enter the codelist value for the handrail end treatment for the beginning of the handrail.
End Treatment
Enter the codelist value for the handrail end treatment for the end of the handrail.
Post Connection Type
Enter the codelist value for the connection configuration.
