Cardinal Points
Below is a diagram illustrating the positions of the Intergraph FrameWorks Cardinal Points. FrameWorks cannot handle Cardinal Points above Point 10, but for this interface it is imperative that all interfaces in this project are able to handle all 14 illustrated below. This is because, especially for unequal angle profiles, the first 10 Cardinal Points are not sufficient.
On transfer between systems, the Cardinal Point imported should be retained for later export. This is because it is likely to be a source of confusion when a member originally laid out on Cardinal Point 14 (Top of Steel) is returned on the Cardinal Point 10 (Neutral Axis). Additionally, it will cause minor problems in model versioning and comparisons.
