Scaffolding Parameters:

Spacing between posts: Input values that controls the spacing between posts, the post spacing are consistent throughout the entire wall span, except for the last one that can be potentially smaller.

Platform width: Input values that controls the width of the scaffolding walking platform.

Structure start offset: Offset only the steel structure of the scaffolding, posts and railings, at the start of the wall object, not including the walking platform.

Structure end offset: Offset only the steel structure of the scaffolding, posts and railings, at the end of the wall object, not including the walking platform.

Flip wall side: Check to flip scaffolding to the opposite side of the wall object.

Flip structure direction: Check to flip the pattern of the vertical posts.

Creating scaffolding:

  1. Create a wall object with the wall command
  2. Wall sketcher can be used to create with polyline profiles
  3. After creation, update the wall object with the scaffolding object type
  4. The scaffolding object will be generated using the same height of the wall and can be updated the same way as a wall object.
  5. Parameters are available within the wall dialog box under Sizing section to refine the model details.
  6. For outside corner conditions, extend one of the scaffoldings by dragging the wall start/end manipulator; align the start of the scaffolding to the exterior of other scaffolding; and then use the Structure start/end offset parameters of the second scaffolding to extend the post and railing structure to close the corner perimeter.
  7. For inside corner conditions, pull back one of the scaffoldings by dragging the wall start/end manipulator; align the start of the scaffolding to the exterior of other scaffolding; and then use the Structure start/end offset parameters of the second scaffolding to retract the post and railing structure to clear the corner pathway.
  8. To create the next level of the scaffolding, sketch wall objects on the next level and apply scaffolding object type.
