Most scaffolding looks simple from far away—until you zoom in on the small components that make everything work. In this lesson, you’ll learn how Component Mode lets you edit those details: ledgers, standards, consoles, couplers, diagonals, toe boards, and more.
Take it step by step. It’s easier than it seems.
Step by step
- Add two bays
- Enter Component Mode
- Select and edit components
- Change multiple components at once
- Add consoles and build on top of them
- Select multiple rosettes
- Add couplers
- Add a steel pipe
- Remove toe boards
- Add diagonals
- Important workflow rule
- Copy your customized bay
- Advanced component stacking
- Certification step
Start by placing two scaffold bays in your workspace. This gives you components to work with.
Click Component Mode to switch from whole-bay editing to individual part editing.
– Click any component to select it
– Delete it if needed
– Or change it (e.g., switch an O-ledger to a U-ledger)
Options vary depending on the supplier you’ve selected.
Hold Shift to select more than one ledger.
You’ll see additional options for batch replacement.
Add a console, resize it, then return to Component Mode.
Select the console and add a standard on top.
Hold Shift and click several rosettes.
Add components such as standards, brackets, or braces directly from the options panel.
Select a standard and add a coupler at your chosen height (e.g., 1 meter).
Repeat on the opposite side if needed.
Select both standards (Shift + Click) and add a steel pipe connecting them.
Use the left-side component list:
– Select Toe Boards
– Delete them with one click
Click the rosettes where the diagonal should connect.
Hold Shift to select multiple rosettes and add diagonals across the entire bay if needed.
Set diagonal behavior in Box Mode first.
Always set full-bay settings in Box Mode before editing individual components.
(Component Mode overrides specific details, but Box Mode defines the base.)
Once you’ve built a bay you like:
– Copy/paste it from the menu or using shortcuts
– Move it and connect it to other bays
This saves time and keeps configurations consistent.
On a single rosette you can:
– Add a component
– Rotate it
– Add a beam spigot on top
– Add a standard on top of that
Available options change depending on the selected component.
