ArchLand03127.pngHardscape properties

Many of the parameters on the Object Info palette are identical to those used to create the hardscape object (see Diseño de objetos de pavimento ). Only the parameters that are different are described here.

Parameter

Description

Shape Tab

 

Style

Replace, remove, or edit the current style, or create a new plug-in object style for this object; see Cómo cambiar estilos de objeto de complemento en la paleta Información del objeto.

Editing a style changes all instances in the file that use the style.

Hide style parameters

Hides the parameters that are set by style; these cannot be edited from the dialog box or Object Info palette

Hardscape Settings

Click to edit the selected hardscape object. Only one hardscape can be selected at a time when editing its settings.

To modify the default hardscape object settings, click Preferences on the Tool bar.

General

 

Hardscape Name

Provide a name for the hardscape, for use in tags and reports

Path Width

Enter the width of the pathway hardscape object

Path Offset

Sets the offset of the pathway centerline from the placement line

Joint I/J Scale

Specifies the size of the joint pattern units, for flagstone, pavers-grid, and pavers-running joint patterns

Joint Pattern Angle

Specifies the rotation angle of the joint pattern

Border Pattern Size

Sets the width of the spaced joints, when spaced joints are selected for the border

Border Pattern Angle

Enter the angle of the pattern inside the border

Draw 3D

 

3D Type

Changes the 3D hardscape type; see Diseño de objetos de pavimento .

A slab with a pathway configuration cannot be changed to a slab drainage type.

Elevation

Sets the elevation of the hardscape

Main Area Components/ Border Components

For an unstyled main area slab, opens the Hardscape Main Area Components or Hardscape Border Components dialog box to specify the hardscape components; see Creación de pavimentos

Border Components

For an unstyled border slab, opens the Slab Components dialog box to specify the components; see Creación de componentes de losa

Site Modifier

 

Site Modifier

Changes whether the slab modifies the site model; see Creación de pavimentos

Enable aligned surface

Defines the hardscape object with a user-defined polyline similar to the boundary type; the hardscape aligns vertically along the edges of surrounding geometry

Slope Definition

(Slab type with Enable aligned surface deselected)

Select the method of defining the slope, or select None for a flat pad. After selecting the method, specify the Slope, the Elevation at End of the slope, or the Contour Angle, and the other values are automatically calculated and displayed.

Show Slope

(slab or slab modifier only)

Displays a modifiable slope arrow and the current slope in Top/Plan view; Show Slope only displays if the slope is a value other than zero. The slope displays interactively by moving one of the control points.

Show Slope A

(slab or slab modifier only)

Displays the slope A arrow and slope parameter. The slope displays interactively by moving one of the control points.

pad_slopeA.png 

Show Slope B

(slab or slab modifier only)

Displays the slope B arrow and slope parameter. The slope displays interactively by moving one of the control points.

Constrain Slope A/B Downward

Forces the A and/or B slope to fall towards a lower elevation

Realign

(Aligned surface slab)

Resets the surface alignment with surrounding geometry

Hardscape Profiles

Modifies the surface of the hardscape with profile lines; see Modifying aligned hardscapes with profile lines

Profile

Scrolls through the profiles, highlighting the selected one; click the center button to highlight the current profile

Name

Displays the name of the currently selected profile

Profile Line Class

Select <Hardscape Class> to place the profile in the same class as the hardscape; select a class, or create a new class, to control profile line appearance and visibility.

Show Profile Lines

Toggles the display of all profile line parameters (name, slope, elevation, and markers)

Show Profile Names

Toggles the display of all profile names

Show Slopes

Toggles the display of all slope values

Show Vertex Elevation

Toggles the display of all vertex elevations

Show Profile Line Markers

Toggles the display of all profile markers

Add Profile

Adds a profile line to the hardscape for modifying the surface

Edit Profile

Enters editing mode for the selected profile, for Modifying aligned hardscapes with profile lines

Reverse Direction

Reverses the direction of the profile line section

Profile Line Marker Style(s)

Opens the Set Marker Style dialog box, to select the profile marker type at each end of the profile line; markers can be the same (Match Beginning) or different (Differentiate) at each end of the section line

Delete Profile

Deletes the selected profile

Surface Modifiers

(Aligned surface slab only)

Modifies the surface of the hardscape with stake and grade objects

Show Stake Objects

After modifying the hardscape with stake objects, displays the stake objects

Show Grade Objects

After modifying the hardscape with grade objects, displays the grade objects

Edit Surface Modifiers

Click for Modifying aligned hardscapes with surface modifiers

Information

 

Main Area

Displays the size of the main area

Border Area

Displays the size of the border area

Footprint Area

Displays the area of the entire footprint of the hardscape

Main Perimeter

Displays the perimeter measurement of the main area polyline

Border Perimeter

Displays the perimeter of the border only

Footprint Perimeter

Displays the perimeter measurement of the entire footprint polyline

Update Calculations

Updates the area and volume calculations displayed in the Object Info palette for the area of the site model located under the site modifier (grade limits must exist around the pad)

Site model area and volume data

Displays the area and volume information for the site model area located under the site modifier; select the units for the area and volume (grade limits must exist around the pad). For more information, see Site model properties.

Vertex parameters

Edits the vertices of the path object that the hardscape is based upon; see Editing vertex-based objects

Render Tab

 

Texture

You can apply and manage textures for Slab and Slab Drainage type hardscapes on the Object Info palette Render tab. See Managing object textures from the Object Info palette and Textures on objects with components

To set individual border segments to invisible for boundary hardscapes or cut-out holes, select the hardscape object, and then click the Reshape tool. Click Hide or Show Edges mode. Click the midpoint of the hardscape border segments or the cut-out hole to hide. Repeat this process to set the border segments back to visible, if necessary.

To quickly determine the left and right side of a pathway hardscape object, select the hardscape object and click the middle button next to the Vertex field on the Shape tab of the Object Info palette; when the button is clicked, the first vertex of the hardscape object is highlighted with a red box.

When classing the subcomponents of the hardscape object, such as for the joints or tags, the class visibility of the specified class controls the visibility of the corresponding subcomponent. The class attributes are only applied to the corresponding subcomponent when the Use at Creation option is selected for the class. For example, if the Joint Class is set to the Hardscape - Component - Main Joint class, and that class specifies a hatch Fill Style, edit the class and select the Use at Creation option to apply the fill attribute. See Setting class attributes.

A hardscape object can be used as the basis of a retaining wall. This provides the ability to sculpt the site model around the hardscape. See Creación de muros de sostenimiento.
