Drawing hole patterns in a profile

Commando : S3d_Hex

You have to use this command on HEX profiles from the section library.

This command will draw hexagonal (or round) holes. The IPE profiles are cut transverse in half according to the pattern (half hexagonal) to achieve a gain in height. The HEX profiles from the library are IPE-profiles with the gained height. For example the profile HEX300-200-115 is an IPE200 with new height 300 made using hexagonal holes with sides dimensioned 115.

By cutting transverse there is always a loss in length because the two sides are shifted before they are welded together again. This loss in length will be calculated by this command and will be added as a remark to the profile.

You will have to manually add the lost length to your ordering lists! (because in 3D we drew a profile that is too short)
