TSL Stacking solution in v27

We are excited to introduce three new TSLs designed to bring a complete 3D stacking solution to hsbDesign on ACA. These tools—StackItem, StackPack, and StackEntity—work together to streamline the process of stacking items, organizing them into packs, and loading them onto trucks. With seamless integration, these TSLs make it easier than ever to manage stacking within your models.

Overview of the Stacking TSLs

‍StackItem

- This TSL enables the creation of individual stacking items for all types of bodies. It offers pre-filtering and pre-sorting options, allowing you to define and organize the stacking items according to specific criteria. This makes it easier to manage diverse objects and elements within your stacking operations.

‍StackPack

- With StackPack, users can group individual stacking items into packs. Pack information is saved back into the original drawing object and updated automatically whenever changes occur, ensuring that your model remains accurate and up-to-date. This feature is ideal for projects that require organized stacking and efficient pack management.

‍StackEntity‍

- The StackEntity TSL allows you to load packs or individual items onto trucks (referred to as StackEntities). Information about each StackEntity is integrated into the model objects, and it is continually updated to reflect any adjustments. Trucks and packs created with StackEntity can be used for shop drawings or other export types, making it easy to generate detailed plans and outputs for logistics or assembly.

Key Benefits of the Stacking TSLs

• Enhanced Organization: With the ability to pre-filter and pre-sort items, group them into packs, and load them onto trucks, the new Stacking TSLs provide an organized approach to managing complex stacking requirements.
• Real-Time Updates: All stacking data—whether individual items, packs, or trucks—is continuously synced with the model, ensuring your drawings reflect the latest changes.
• Seamless Export Options: The StackEntity TSL’s integration with shop drawings and other export formats makes it easy to produce detailed output files directly from your model.

Using the Stacking TSLs for Your Projects

The Stacking TSLs allow you to bring a high level of accuracy and efficiency to stacking operations in hsbDesign. By incorporating these tools into your workflow, you can streamline the stacking process, from individual item creation to fully-loaded truck entities, all while maintaining accurate and detailed models.
