Input Hopper Walls

Place both the Plan View at RL +2.400 and the Plan View at RL 0.000 on the screen either side by side
or one above the other and put the 3d view into the top left corner of the screen.

Using the Contour Plate macro pick the intersection of Grids A-1 then A-4 in the Plan view at RL
+2.400. Then pick the intersection of Grids B-3 then B-2 in the plan view at RL 0.000. Now complete the
hopper wall by picking the intersection of Grids A-1 again in the Plan View at RL +2.400.

Repeat this procedure for the other three walls.

Zoom into the intersection of Grids D-1 in the plan view at RL +2.400 and note that the walls are based
about their "middle" and therefore overlap. Double click on one of the walls (you may need to double
click on them in the 3d view if you keep getting the Chamfer Properties dialogue box) and modify their
Position in Depth value from "middle" to behind.

Repeat this for the other three walls.

Note: Some of the hopper walls may be missing from some of the views. This is because of the size of
the plates. You will need to increase the depth of each of your plan and elevation views from 500 up &
down to about 3000 up and down.

Note: If you want to use prefix FLT instead of PL or PLT in plate profiles you can add an extra FLT line
(similar to PLT line) to file ..\countries\???\profil\profitab.inp where ??? is the country environment (e.g.
euro, uk, usimp, aus):
FLT ! B ! +2 ! ! 1 ! 2 ! ! !

Hopper flange

Construct workpoints for Hopper flange


Using the elevation view on Grid B, place points on the outside edge of the hopper wall where it
intersects with the +0.400 level. See below.

Place point
here

Do this for both left and right edges.

Repeat this in the Elevation views on Grids C, 2 & 3.

Bring up the plan view at RL +0.400 and you will see the points that have just been created as yellow
crosses.

Construct the corner points using the Create line line intersection point command.
Pick two of the points on a side and then two points on an adjacent side.

Input flange

Now input the flanges using the Beam Properties dialogue box.

Add holes to Hopper flange


Using the Interactive Bolt macro add the holes shown.
