Sheet Board Registration
When clicking on
Create/Edit Model, the following screen will be presented. It is here that the fields for filling in the necessary information for the registration or editing of a new finishing option (model) will be enabled.
The information for the sheet board registration is:
- Model Category
- Bottom Material
- Create Model in the Vertical/Horizontal Option
- Application
- Material Body
- Finishing Code
- Sheet Board Width
- Sheet Board Length
- Active
- Model Data
- Pricing
TIP: For agility in the registration process, try to collect all the information above prior to registering as saving the model will only be allowed if all mandatory information is complete.
Model category
The model category field refers to the material category to be applied to the model. The categories must be previously registered in the model category register. For this registration, it is mandatory to choose an option.
This information will also be used in the model selection screen for categorizing them.
The registration of this information is associated with the material used. If any model has already been registered with that material, the model category information will already be filled.
If the user tries to save a model without any type of application selected, a warning will be displayed.
Bottom Material
When selecting the upper material to create a finishing model, the system will always fill the bottom material with the same information as the upper. In cases where the upper and bottom materials are the same, no changes are necessary.
To register a lower material other than the upper one, select the option Change material.
When clicking on the option, the material tab will open, in which the bottom material must be chosen.
If the bottom material does not have a category, it must also be registered.
Create model in the Vertical/Horizontal option
Due to the presence of grain (vein) in some materials, at times it is necessary to register them vertically and horizontally.
When choosing a registered material as horizontal or vertical, when opening the registration screen, the option create model at vertical option or create model at horizontal option will appear. By checking this option and saving the model, it will be created automatically in the horizontal and vertical options.
If this field is not checked, the model will be created only in the option where the chosen material was registered.
If the material does not have this option, it is because it has no grain direction.
Application
The field of the application refers to the type of item where the model will be applied. The values of the application field are defined according to the content acquired. These options are not customized by the user and the user will only need to check the options she/he wants in the application model to be registered.
As soon as any field on the screen is filled in, the tab name will be yellow, indicating that there is information registered.
If the user tries to save a model without any type of application selected, a warning will be displayed.
Material Body
The material body field refers to the type of material that the registered model will have. To register an application model, it is necessary to have an option selected and the registration of the material body must already be registered in advance.
In addition, it is possible to register more than one body of material at a time, noting that each one must have specified information.
When choosing a material body option, the selected option will be added to the side to register the other information related to this material body.
The finishing, sheet board width and sheet board length information are mandatory.
Material body - Finish
For each material body option, it will be necessary to register finishing information. This information must be unique for each registered model and must consist of 5 numeric digits.
If the value is not correct, a red icon will be displayed alerting the possible registration error.
If, when saving changes, a saved finishing code already exists, an alert will be displayed informing which model has this code and the operation will not be completed.
Material Body - Sheet Board Width
For each material body option, it is necessary to register the sheet board width information.
If the value is not filled, a red icon will be displayed alerting the possible registration error.
Material Body - Sheet Board Length
For each material body option, it is necessary to register the sheet board length information.
If the value is not filled, a red icon will be displayed alerting the possible registration error.
Material Body - Active
For each material body option, it is necessary to register whether this model option will be available to users of the Design version.
In the Automate and Produce options, the models will always be in the 3D Space regardless of the active/inactive option.
Material Body - Model data
When all the information is registered, the model information list will automatically be created according to the sheet thickness register. The information contained is:
- Type - Edge banding type code
- Thickness - Edge banding thickness name
- Engineering thickness - Edge banding thickness code/value
- Height - Edge banding height name
- Engineering height - Edge banding thickness code/value
- Reference - Composed by: Type + Engineering thickness + Engineering height + Finish
- Value - Value in mm
Price Registration
When registering for a new finishing model, it is possible to register the price of this finishing. The values can be registered in three ways on the model's screen.
The model prices can also be registered in the specific price tab and their registration is not mandatory but recommended.
