B×L = P/q_all · B−L = col_b−col_l
t = max(40cm, max(L,B)/6); t = d + 7cm → rounded 5cm
As = ρ_min × 1000 × t × 1000 mm²/m

Ready — add columns or import

📐 Import from DXF

Auto (Pw layer)

Import + Edit

LISP Script

📐

Drop DXF file

Reads CCL layer (columns) + Pw layer (loads)
Matches each Pw to nearest column by proximity

📋

Drop DXF — edit loads manually

Imports column outlines from CCL layer
Then enter each Pw load in the editor popup

Load in AutoCAD → type PLACEPW → prompts for each column load → save DXF → use Auto tab.
