Written by Alexandra Göttert

This article is part of a sequential step-by-step tutorial covering dimensions, dimension layout/properties/prefixes/representation, dynamic dimensions, overwrites, and managing sheet groups. Follow the steps in order — each later step builds on the result of the one before it.

Prerequisites

  • DigiPara Liftdesigner installed.

Steps

1.) Create the practice elevator project. Using the Shaft Wizard, create a project with:

  • 5 floors, typical floor-to-floor distance 3000 mm

  • Consider travel: No; Create building floor levels: No

  • Traction elevator, 2:1 roping

  • 13 persons / 1000 kg, 1 m/s, with CW safety gear

  • Machine room: Below / left

  • Car roping: 2 pulleys below

  • Counterweight roping: 1 pulley top, counterweight right

  • Car size: width 1600 mm, depth 1400 mm

  • Sheet templates: LD Installation Drawing, LD Typical Views For Your Elevator

  • Entrances: front on all floors, rear on the first and last level

  • Individual floor-to-floor distances: Pit 1200 mm; E1 2900 mm; E2 3000 mm; E3 3000 mm; E4 3800 mm

2.) Save the project. Save it under the file name LDTrainingSample.ld3.

Result

A practice elevator project exists with the exact configuration needed for the dimension, overwrites, and sheet group exercises in the following steps.
