Attention - Version Increase for Drawings!

Due to enhancements in existing functions (Cube reinforcement, bridge) and integration of new functions (unwinding section, Cube view), drawings in SP1 will be re-saved to the new version number 21.01. In the plan model, this only affects drawings that contain the aforementioned objects and all drawings in the project model. In the case of plan models, the re-saving takes place when you save the drawing.
In the case of project models, all drawings in the associated work directory are re-saved when you open the drawing. In the case of the project model, you will receive a message beforehand and can thus cancel opening the drawing and prevent the re-saving.

Drawings/project models that have been re-saved can no longer be read into STRAKON 2021 (with/without patches).

Project Model

In STRAKON there is since version 2021 a new method concerning project structuring of a 3D model. In addition to the "plan model", editing is now also possible in the "project model". The Service Pack 1 now provides some improvements that had been noticed in the practical use of the project model. Before you basically switch from the "plan model" to the "project model" method, you should go through the in-house processes in a small sample project to ensure a smooth workflow. If this is the case, you can take advantage of the "project model method".

  • Publish: All exports possible except KON file
  • Save submodels as
  • Create, restore, delete project backup
  • Shop drawing - Cube:
    • The title bar now displays the name of the Flex-Part.
    • Function "Center of gravity" and "Dimensions" now available
    • After changing and closing the Cube component, the prompt for saving the change in the Flex-Part appears
  • General arrangement: Cube views with dimensions and datums

    The Cube views introduce a new possibility of plan generation. Here, the Cube views will have to develop in the near future. In SP1 of the STRAKON version 2021 you can now use the first state of the Cube views.

    Already now there are these advantages: Cube views, which are already assigned a scale, can be used to prepare the 3D view of a drawing already, without the drawing having to be created. This saves you from constantly changing the drawing and you stay in the project model of the Cube. Furthermore, you can dimension the Cube views. This dimensioning can be displayed in the 3D model, so that you have a better orientation in the model. Furthermore, datums (also floor plan datums) can be entered in Cube views, which automatically detect and display their height. The entire dimensioning is then transferred to the drawing when it is exported to the 3D view, so that you can use the dimensioning in the model for the drawing at the same time. Another advantage of a Cube view is that you can also edit the model in a floor plan view (e.g. move windows).

    In future STRAKON versions the Cube views will be extended by several functions like hatchings, linestyles, labelings etc.

Outputs / Interfaces / Data Export
  • Export DWG: Link to the selected plot pen table is written to the DWG file.
  • IFC import/export: further edits e.g. export negative objects, import sweeps as sweeps etc.
  • Publish:
    • DWG export optionally as DWG package (eTransmit).
    • Output "paper" now optionally with reduction factor

Miscellaneous
  • You can save drawings from a drawing model to a project model via "Save as" and automatically convert them to this model type. Depending on the 3D plan type (shop drawing/general arrangement), a corresponding message appears with important information. Pure 2D drawings are converted without message.
  • KON file of a project model drawing can only be opened in a project model work directory.
  • Material administration: Optionally a second hatching can be defined per material and scale range.
  • Settings Unitization for data export (Unitechnik)
    • Optional cutting of the element outer edge, if an embedded part lies on the outer edge, as well as determination of the line attribute of this partial edge.
    • Determination of the line attribute for special formwork
