DXF FilesStandoff DistanceEnter the distance you wish to have the line entities “stand off” from the joints to which they are attached. The standoffdistance is measured along the axis of the line. The distance will be in the DXF units, which is defined below. The distancewill be used as entered and will not be scaled by the CAD Scale factor.Note that if you create a DXF file with a non-zero standoff distance, it will be difficult to use the file for model geometry ifyou read the file back into RISA. (If you read such a file back in, you will end up with multiple joints at each memberendpoint which will separated by the standoff distance)Grid BubblesYou can export the project grid bubbles either as Circles or Hexagons.DXF Layer OptionsThese controls allow you to customize the layer names in the DXF output of your Foundation Plan Drawing.The program will add a prefix to each section set layer to designate what type of material that section is. The prefixes are asfollows:Exporting Foundation Plot PlansOnce you have all these parameters set, press OK and the program will export a plan view of the foundation model, completewith slabs, footings, grade beams, pedestals, piles and pile caps. These come built in with footing, pedestal, pile and pile capschedules. Slab reinforcement can be found in the slab reinforcing details below.30 RISAFoundation v4
