Formwork Detail Drawings

After designing the formworks in ProtaStructure, open ProtaDetails and start creating the drawings using the "Drawings Tree > Formworks". ProtaStructure automatically groups formworks. That means the detail drawings are also automatically grouped.

1. Right-click on the "Formwork" node on the drawings tree and pick the "Draw Formwork Details" command. All details will be drawn and laid out automatically, including their quantity take-off tables.
   
   
2. Right-click on one of the "Formwork/Column", "Formwork/Shearwall", "Formwork/Beam", or "Formwork/Slab" nodes to automatically create all the formwork details for a specific group.
   
3. Alternatively, expand the "Formwork/Column" node. The column formworks will be listed. Right-click on one of the column formworks and create a single detail.
   

You can also draw the formwork details one-by-one 

Formwork Application Plans 

The latest update provides the mostly sought "Formwork Application Plan Drawings" feature. On the application plans, formwork details are drawn in their original positions on the structural plan so that you don't have to cross-reference between individual details and key plans.

1. Design the column, shearwall, beam, and slab formworks in ProtaStructure.
   
2. Launch ProtaDetails.
   
3. You will see a new category, "Formwork Application Plan", in the "Details Explorer Tree" on the left-hand side.  

4. You can create the formwork application plans for individual storeys and member types by double-clicking the tree items.
