Users have the option to adjust the drilling patterns on components. Drilling patterns, often called bore holes or boring patterns, refer to the 32mm system holes on a partition where a shelf or item is designated to be placed. They also allow fortheadjustability of parts – Some will allow for more, some for less or no adjustability.
While drilling holes are visible in the 3D view, it is easiest to edit drilling patterns if you have the 32mm holes visible in the Elevation view. Turn this on and off in the Display section of the ELV ribbon toolbar, by checking the box next to 32mm Holes.

Info

It is often suggested that you have this feature turned ON so you can understand the exact location of parts, especially as a new designer. Talk to your manager if you have questions.

 

To change your drilling pattern, you have two options: Edit using the component properties or using the partition properties.

If you want to apply the drilling patterns to other components, or to your entire space, edit the fields under the ‘Drilling’ heading in Component Properties. Simply change the ‘Internal Drilling’ using the pulldown, where you will see the options listed on the previous page. You will see other fields below Internal Drilling, but that is best left to your plan engineer.


 Partition drilling can be through-drill, which goes through the partition and is visible on both sides, or half-drill, where they are not fully drilled and only visible on one side. If adding a component in the middle of the design zone, it will typically be half-drill. If adding a component against a wall or another component, it will typically call for a through-drill.

...


There are several different options for drilling patterns, as explained on the next page. Your location . Location can select which comes in as the default, although you users have the option to adjust them yourself.       

      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Full Line Boring:

Full drilling of 32mm system holes from top to bottom of partition. Can be half-drill or through-drill (see image above). If you add or create a component in the middle of your space, it will be half-drill. If you build or place a component against a wall or another comp, it will automatically call for a through-drill. This allows for the most adjustability.

  1. Selective Line Boring:

  1. None:

Drilling is turned off completely (blank partition). This is often used for the outside of a partition where there will be no parts.

You can then apply this drilling to other components, the wall, or the room using the ‘Apply properties to’. You can check the blue bore holes in Elv or the pattern in 3D, to see what each style looks like and how it will change within your plan.

 

The image below shows an example of Full Line Boring, which is one of the most commonly used drilling patterns.

and is a cleaner look, although this means parts cannot be moved from where they are originally placed (therefore, certain parts such as adjustable shelves are not needed and the user may choose to design with only fixed shelves).

Drilling patterns can be visually checked by viewing the physical pattern in 3D view.

To change drilling patterns, users can edit in either component properties or in partition properties:

1

If users want to change the drilling patterns in the entire space, or apply to other components, edit the fields under the Drilling heading in Properties [Comp]. Change the Internal Drilling using the pulldown.

The other fields below Internal Drilling include the option to adjust the number of holes if selecting Custom Adjustable Drilling. The other fields are best left to the plan engineer*.
