The name conventions is to be explained in detail using the example of a profile:

3 connection points each at start and end, 8 insertion lines at the ducts

Profile start and profile end

A connection point is needed in the center of the section and one in each hole. Compare Fig. „3 connection points each at start and end, 8 insertion lines at the ducts“.

The connection point in the center of the section is called start, the others are listed as start_a, start_b etc.

The same counts for the profile end.

start_b <---> end_b start <---> end start_a <---> end_a

Sideway connection points (insertion lines)

	Note
	The sideways Connection points are created as Connection line. See Section 7.9.3.2.1.6, “Create Connection line ”. Connection line

The following image is an example of the name convention for the insertion lines on the side. Your basic sketch is located on the start plane of the profile.

The schema is side_<Nummer><Buchstabe>. Nummer is a number such as on a die, where the addition of two facing numbers always add up to 7. Buchstabe is empty for the middle position and in case there are several ducts, the insertion points are counted: “a”, “b”, … Important The connection point at the opposite contains the same letter: side_2a <-> side_5a side_2b <-> side_5b

Orientation of connection points: Important The insert line symbol always points to the middle. The coordinate exes of the side connection points, always show towards the right, if one looks longitudinally of the beginning of the profile and the surface with the connection points is on the top.

Example of a complex name convention with many connection points and insertion lines and different proportions

The start/end connection points/insertion lines are now a letter combination of top/side and or bottom/side:

start_<Buchstabe_oben>_<Buchstabe_seitlich>
