4 Project Centre Enter and edit Special Lengths Now you can select multiple profiles under special lengths.. The data of all selected profiles may be modified by pressing the enter key. 4

5 Project Profiles with Dual Surface Area In the Project Centre click on Job -> Project Items -> Project Profiles. Under Inner Surface Area and Outer Surface Area you may enter the values. 5

6 Estimation Estimation per Position LogiKal 8.1 has a new program option to estimate the price per position. You may see the price during the Input of Element. By creating a new project you have to activate the option Estimation per Position. The price will be shown at the top of the position drawing. Attention: Apportion costs and cut optimisations are not included. These must be entered as fixed value in the estimation data. 6

7 Excel Estimation The estimation can now be exported to MS Excel. Therefore, in the Project Centre under Evaluation click on Excel Estimation. 7

8 Input of Element Slab in Cross Section Slabs are now displayed in cross section. Make a new section over the complete height of the element with actual glass size. 8

9 Dynamic Display of Opening Angle The opening angle can now be dynamically displayed in the cross section. Actual glass size must be activated and door hinges have to be assigned. 9

10 Display tiles in Hardware Hardware articles can be displayed as tiles or by list. Right click in the list and select View -> Tiles from the context menu. Alternatively use the buttons on the top of the article list. 10

11 Project Hardware Packages If you often use the same hardware combinations you are now able to save your own hardware configurations by using the function project hardware packages. Create a position with hardware articles. Then select the button Save as Project Hardware Package on the left. Enter a name for the new hardware package. 11

12 This package is now also available for other positions. To insert a package click on Hardware Package in the hardware selection on the right side. Select your hardware package from the list that includes your own hardware configurations. 12

13 U-Value and Price on a glance The u-value and price can be displayed on the top of the position drawing. The price will only be displayed if you activate the option Estimation per Position (see page 4). To activate both values click on View -> U-Value and View -> Price in the file menu. 13

15 Wall Connection Splices Wall connections can be spliced. When creating windows and doors you may click on Profile Splices under Functions. Select the wall connection in the position drawing. A new window appears. Determine the wall connection that shall be spliced. Then determine the position of the profile splice. 15

16 You are also able to make wall connection splices for curtain walls. Therefore, click on the button Wall Connection Splices and select the profile for the wall connection in the position drawing. The following procedure is identical to windows and doors. 16

17 Wall Connection Configuration There are five new possibilities to determine wall connections in the Input of Element. 1. All the same 2. Right, left and top the same 3. Right and left the same 4. All different 5. From another position 17

18 Wall Connection under door You may now determine wall connections under a door. 18

19 Pull Handle on Bracket Set Pull handles can be added and fixed on a bracket set. The accessories items will be considered in the piece list. The cutting length of the pull handle will be calculated as required and the machinings are generated. 19

20 Printout Cross Section Plan LogiKal 8.1 can identify same cross sections in the complete project. Select the button Cross Section Plan in the Project Centre. The same cross section of a position will be bundled and displayed in a catalogue. 20
