Project Centre
Enter and edit Special Lengths
Now you can select multiple profiles under special lengths.
.
The data of all selected profiles may be modified by pressing the enter key.

Estimation
Estimation per Position
LogiKal 8.1 has a new program option to estimate the price per position.
You may see the price during the Input of Element.
By creating a new project you have to activate the option “Estimation per Position”.
The price will be shown at the top of the position drawing.
Attention: Apportion costs and cut optimisations are not included. These must be entered as fixed value
in the estimation data.
6
Excel Estimation
The estimation can now be exported to MS Excel. Therefore, in the Project Centre under Evaluation
click on “Excel Estimation”.
7
Input of Element
Slab in Cross Section
Slabs are now displayed in cross section.
Make a new section over the complete height of the element with actual glass size.
8
Dynamic Display of Opening Angle
The opening angle can now be dynamically displayed in the cross section.
Actual glass size must be activated and door hinges have to be assigned.
9
Display tiles in Hardware
Hardware articles can be displayed as tiles or by list. Right click in the list and select “View” -> “Tiles”
from the context menu.
Alternatively use the buttons on the top of the article list.
10

If you often use the same hardware combinations you are now able to save your own hardware
configurations by using the function “project hardware packages”.
Create a position with hardware articles. Then select the button “Save as Project Hardware Package” on
the left.
Enter a name for the new hardware package.
11
This package is now also available for other positions.
To insert a package click on “Hardware Package” in the hardware selection on the right side.
Select your hardware package from the list that includes your own hardware configurations.
12
U-Value and Price on a glance
The u-value and price can be displayed on the top of the position drawing.
The price will only be displayed if you activate the option “Estimation per Position” (see page 4).
To activate both values click on “View” -> “U-Value” and “View” -> “Price” in the file menu.
13
Cable Plan
The new program version supports cable plans.
Electronic components like cable inserts, cable exits and electric control units can be added in

Wall Connection Splices
Wall connections can be spliced. When creating windows and doors you may click on “Profile Splices”
under “Functions”. Select the wall connection in the position drawing. A new window appears.
Determine the wall connection that shall be spliced.
Then determine the position of the profile splice.

Connection Splices” and select the profile for the wall connection in the position drawing. The following
procedure is identical to windows and doors.
16
Wall Connection Configuration
There are five new possibilities to determine wall connections in the Input of Element.
1.
All the same
2.
Right, left and top the same
3.
Right and left the same
4.
All different
5.
From another position
17
