Load-bearing interior wall

ARC-WALL-INT-LB

Makes load transfer and space separation jointly verifiable early on and provides a reliable basis for structural, fire, and acoustic coordination.

Description

  • Load-bearing wall between interior spaces according to the structural concept.
  • Used for coordination with structural engineering, fire and acoustic verification, and component identification.

Modelling guidelines

  • Model storey by storey; split at component and storey boundaries.
  • Set IsExternal=FALSE and LoadBearing=TRUE.
  • During conceptual architectural design, coordinate the dimensions of conceptual structural components with the structural engineer and adopt them in the architecture model.
  • Use and export the appropriate material from the authoring system.

Allowed values

  • GAB - base building (client / landlord)
  • MAB_{TenantName} - tenant fit-out, e.g. MAB_TenantA
FundingApplication

ePset_Cost

Number of the funding application, so quantities and costs can be filtered by application. Separate several numbers with commas, e.g. 2024-0142, 2024-0188. Leave empty when the component belongs to no application.

AwardInterface

ePset_Cost

Procurement package of the component, so interfaces between contractor packages become visible.

Allowed values

  • See the Procurement package value list. This Swiss data package uses three-digit BKP codes, e.g. 211, 221, 244.
PlanningInterface

ePset_Cost

Planning interface of the component as a three-digit BKP code, so responsibilities between design disciplines become visible.

Calculated type name for cost and quantity grouping. Logic WandTypisierung. Example: Wand_Innen_Oberirdisch_Beton_200mm_REI90_53

ProductClass

ePset_Cost

Product class for cost and tender assignment. It may be assigned manually; for consistent tender data, it should preferably be derived from component properties through deterministic automation or AI-assisted mapping.

Allowed values

UnitPrice

ePset_Cost

Project- or office-specific unit price per unit of the reference quantity, used to check component costs for plausibility.

CHF/m²
ReferenceQuantity
