ignored. These details are covered in our trainings, where you can also
find help with your own individual and company-specific tasks. You
should definitely take part in our seminar program in order to make the
best use of the functionality and possibilities of the system.
We provide you with an extensive online help system in the program it-
self. In addition to conceptual information and dialog descriptions, here
you will also find "step by step" instructions for most program functions.
The "Proceed as follows" section of the operating information gives you
step by step instructions for using the program. Once you have started
the program and require information on a particular dialog, you can then
call up the appropriate help by simply pressing the [F1] key.
Many thanks for your interest in EPLAN Pro Panel. We hope that the

In combination with settings or fields (e.g., check boxes) which can
only be switched on or off, in this document we often use the term "ac-
tivate" (after which the setting is active ) and "deactivate" (after
which the setting is inactive ).

Introduction
Remarks on the Sample Project
You can carry out the following steps using the document and progress
at your own learning speed.
The data and projects required to carry out the exercises are installed on
your computer in the course of the EPLAN Pro Panel setup.

Adding 3D Layout Spaces to Projects
Adding 3D Layout Spaces to
Projects
In the first step you learn how to add so-call layout spaces to an existing
EPLAN project.
These layout spaces belong to an EPLAN project, just like page. If layout
spaces are defined in a project, then they can be opened in the EPLAN
platform and viewed in 3D even without a license for the EPLAN Pro
Panel add-on.
The central tool for designing with layout spaces is the Layout space
navigator. It lists the layout spaces defined in the project and the re-
spective structure of the components of the mounting layout.
The layout space
As well as the logical structure display in the Layout space navigator,
there is also a 3D display area that shows the placed device. This dis-
play is independent of any project page. The 3D model is displayed in
this a layout space that allows the 3D objects and their editing to be
viewed.
It is therefore a basic requirement for working with 3D components that a
layout space be first created in the layout space navigator. This is the
environment / workspace for the 3D data and the functional logic that
connects it.

Creating and Deleting a Layout Space
In this section you learn the basic handling of EPLAN layout spaces.
First start EPLAN Electric P8 or EPLAN Fluid and then open the project
EPLAN-DEMO. In order to add a 3D layout space to the EPLAN-DEMO
project, select the Navigator menu item in the Layout space menu bar.
Creating a layout space
1. Select Layout space > New.
The Properties (components): Layout space dialog opens.
2. Change the name suggested in the Name field to MP2. Click [...] to
open the Structure identifier of layout space dialog for editing the
structure identifier. You can use [...] to select the structure identifiers
(such as higher-level function and mounting location) from the exist-
ing entries. You can also manually enter the identifiers and create
new ones in the process. Select EB3 as the higher-level function and
enter ET5 as the mounting location.
3. In the Description field enter the text Terminal box +ET5. This text
is also displayed in the tree view of the layout space navigator.
4. If necessary, enter further properties for the new layout space.
5. Click [OK].
The new layout space is created and opened.
Deleting a layout space
If you want to delete the previously created layout space:
1. Select the relevant layout spaces in the Layout space - <Project
Name> navigator dialog.
2. Select Popup menu > Delete.
The selected layout space is deleted from the project after a fur-
ther prompt.
If you want to undo the deleting of the layout space, use the menu item
Edit > Undo.
Placing an Enclosure (from Parts Management)
Enclosures are placed in a layout space in the 3D mounting layout. The
parts management dialog contains various predefined series of enclo-
sures; you can select enclosures from them to be placed. There are two
different enclosure types, which are defined in parts management in
separate product subgroups:
"Body" type: The enclosure consists of a single 3D body. The enclo-
sure can only be modified, moved or deleted as a whole. AE and CM
series enclosures are body-type enclosures.
"Component" type: The enclosure consists of several 3D bodies (pro-
files, walls, doors). All elements of the enclosure can be modified,
moved or deleted individually. TS 8 series enclosures are component-
type enclosures.
Some enclosures also have a predefined mounting panel and one or two
doors.
An enclosure is to be placed in the previously created layout space as
the next step.

Preconditions:
The layout space navigator is open and a layout space is open.
1. Select the menu item Insert > Enclosure.
The Part selection dialog opens, with the "Mechanics component
> Enclosure" hierarchy level already open in the tree view.
2. Select the enclosure part AE 1050.500 under Enclosure > Body >
RITTAL.
3. Click [OK].
The enclosure hangs on the cursor as a detailed preview with the
height, width and depth defined for the part. The currently selected
handle is displayed in red.
4. Press [A] to change the handle.
Each time you press [A], the handle changes from the "Back left"
position to "Back right", "Front right", and "Front left".

5. Place the enclosure at the desired point by clicking on it. Alternatively
you can also enter the coordinates via the input box.

3D View of a Layout Space
Various functionalities can be used to change the view of an opened lay-
out space.
Change zoom
You can use this functionality to zoom in or out, the layout space shown
in the 3D view or a separately displayed component (mounting panel,
mounting rail, etc.).
1. Select the menu items View > Zoom / In/Out.
The view zooms in or out, step by step, starting from the position
of the coordinate system.
2. Hold the cursor over the 3D view and turn the mouse wheel forward
or backward.
The view zooms in or out, step by step, starting from the cursor
position.
Change viewpoint
This functionality generates different orthogonal (top, bottom, left, right,
front, back) or isometric (south-west, south-east, north-east, north-west)
views of your layout space.

1. Select View > 3D viewpoint.
2. Select one of the available views from the submenu.
The contents of the layout space are re-displayed in accordance
with the selected view.

Rotating viewpoint
With this functionality, you can change the viewpoint of the graphic by
moving the mouse.
1. Select the menu item View > Rotate viewpoint.
2. Click in the 3D view and keep the left mouse button pressed.
3. Holding the button down, move the mouse in the direction in which
the viewpoint is to be changed.
The display in the layout space follows the movement of the
mouse, and rotates in the corresponding direction.
4. Once the required viewpoint is set, release the mouse button and ex-
it the function with [ESC].
The contents of the layout space are displayed with the newly se-
lected viewpoint, until you select a different viewpoint.

Layout Space Navigator: Activating Items
To place devices correctly on mounting panels, mounting rails, doors,
walls, etc., the required mounting surface or item must be identified for
placement. There is an option in the Layout space - <Project name>
navigator dialog to enable you to activate surfaces of this type automati-
cally or directly.
Automatically activating
Automatic activation is suitable for all surfaces and items that are not
covered by other components.
1. In the layout space navigator tree view, select the desired item or
desired mounting surface.
2. Select Popup menu > Go to (graphic).
Only the selected item and the components arranged on it are still
displayed.
Activating directly
Use direct activation to access the mounting surfaces of covered com-
ponents or components that are at the back, from the layout space navi-
gator. This is not possible in the graphical representation without hiding
the covering components. The viewpoint is toggled to the front view. All
components that are not involved are hidden.
1. Select a mounting surface in the layout space navigator tree view.
2. Select Popup menu > Activate directly.
The selected mounting surface and the components arranged on
it are displayed in the front view. All other components contained in
the layout space are hidden.

level is selected.
2. Navigate through the tree structure to Relays, contactors, Siemens
and mark the device part SIE.3RT1017-1BB44-3MA0.
3. Click [OK].
The device hangs on the cursor as a transparent preview. If the
device is defined with the height, width and depth part properties, it
is displayed with the dimensions specified in the part. The currently
selected handle is displayed in red, and is also identified by an or-
ange square as a snap point.
Warning:
In addition to the parts properties Width, Height and Depth, EPLAN Pro
Panel also allows you to visualize devices and items using qualified 3D
graphics macros.
In order to create own devices, items and 3D graphics macros, 3D model
data in STEP format can be imported into EPLAN Pro Panel.
These data that are usually provided by component manufacturers are
as a rule based on the CAD design data of the component manufacturer
and are often complex and detailed.
The use of complex and detailed 3D models as the basis for EPLAN 3D
graphics macros requires a correspondingly large amount of working
memory and can have a long-term effect on the program performance
during project editing in EPLAN.
To obtain further information about this topic as well recommendations
please contact the EPLAN Support.
Each time [A] is actuated, the handle changes from left to right, or
to the next of the 9 possible points on the base. Specify the handle to
"Right center".

5. Alternatively select Popup menu > Placement options to call up
the Placement options dialog. Here you can again choose the han-
dle and / or enter an offset.

6. Place the device with a mouse click on the uppermost mounting rail
at the right-hand outer duct.

Note:
In order to complete the mounting panel created up to now with the steps
below, please copy the mounting location =EB3+ET3 to =EB3+ET5! You
can use Copy and Paste in the page navigator to this purpose. Use the
Number option when inserting. This ensures that the devices have a
new device tag.

3D Mounting Layout Navigator
The 3D mounting layout navigator is used to list the devices available in
the project so that they can be placed in a layout space.
1. Select the menu item Project data > Devices / Parts > 3D mount-
ing layout navigator.
All devices to which a part is assigned are listed.
The view in the 3D mounting layout navigator is always identifier-
based.
Parts without a device tag are grouped in a separate hierarchy
level.
Devices that have already been placed are identified by an addi-
tional icon.
Multiple entries may be selected in both the tree view and the list view.
These selected devices can then be placed on the mounting panel at the
same time. It is also possible to select a node in the tree view. All devic-
es that are affected by this selection are placed together.
1. Open the 3D mounting layout navigator. Select the identifier Q under
=EB3 +ET5.
2. Right-click Q1 and select Place from the popup menu.
3. Q1 is located at the cursor. Place the item on the first mounting rail at
a distance of 10 mm to the left-hand wire duct.
4. Repeat the process with K3 and place it next to Q1.

5. Next place the PLC that is located under the identifier A. Mark all the
components with the identifier A and place them by dragging the
component last marked onto the mounting panel. The distance to K1
should amount to 35 mm.

Multiple Placing of Terminals
Multiple Placing of Terminals
Preconditions:
In order to place a terminal several times or to place the complete termi-
nal strip, first select the first terminal in the 3D mounting layout navigator.
Select Popup menu > Place. A prompt is displayed that no part has
been placed from this terminal strip yet. At the same time you are asked
whether this terminal strip is to be placed completely.
If you respond with [Yes], you can subsequently place the terminal strip
completely. To do so, you only place the first terminal. The subsequent
ones are placed automatically.
If you respond with [No], you can then place the terminals individually.
1. Open the 3D mounting layout navigator. Select a terminal of the ter-
minal strip X1 under =EB3 +ET5.
2. Select Popup menu > Place.
3. Respond [Yes] to the prompt "No part of the terminal strip
=EB3+ET5-X1: has been placed yet. Place the terminal strip com-
pletely?".
4. Place the first terminal at a distance of 10 mm to the left-hand wire
duct. The remaining terminals are placed automatically.

Simplified Representation
Simplified Representation
With this functionality, you can reduce the detail shown in the graphic of
the parts placed in the layout space. You can set which items are to be
shown in a simplified representation in the Options > Settings > User >
Graphical editing > 3D dialog:

Model Views
Model Views
Inserting a model view
Model views are standardized views and views of equipped mounting
surfaces. They are used for display purposes and for creating drawings.
Additional information such as dimensioning, texts, etc. for enclosure
production (enclosure equipment) can be drawn in the model views using
standard platform functions.
A separate page type "Model view" is available for model views. Howev-
er, you can also insert model views on other page types.
1. Create a Page 4 with the page type "Model view" under =EB3+ET5.
2. Select the menu item Insert > Graphic > Model view (Pro Panel).
3. Press [Enter] to specify the first corner of the area for the model
view at the current cursor position.
4. Open a frame using the cursor keys. You can open the frame in any
direction.
5. End area selection with [Enter].
The Model view dialog opens.
6. Define the data specific to the model view on the View tab. These
should encompass at least the following specifications:
View name: Every view is identified by a unique designation. You
cannot have multiple views with the same name. If you do not want
to retain the suggestion, enter a new name that is not used yet.
Layout space: A model view can only ever be created for a layout
space. This drop-down list displays all the layout space created in
the project. When you open the dialog for the first time, the name
of the first main layout space in the project is displayed. Select the
Layout space created by you, for example, MP2 Terminal box +
ET5.

Model Views
Basic items: Here you can specify what is to be displayed in the
model view. You can also further restrict the content of the layout
space that is displayed. Click [...] to open the 3D object selection
dialog and select the objects to be displayed in the model view.
Select the entry "Mounting panel front".
Viewpoint: Select the alignment of the model view from this drop-
down list. Since the front of the mounting panel is to be displayed
in this model view, retain the setting "Front".
Item labeling: Select a labeling scheme from this drop-down list.
Click [...] to create an own labeling scheme.
Select Default as the item labeling.
7. Click [OK].
The Model view dialog closes and the model view is placed on
the project page according to the settings.

Note:
If simplified representation is active, the respective model view is also
shown in simplified form. This can be changed, after switching over the
simplified representation in the layout space, by refreshing the model
view.
Model Views
Managing the model views
In order to manage the model views select the menu items Utilities >
Reports > Model view.
In the popup menu of the View tab you can:
Update model views
Delete model views
Open pages that contain model views.
In addition, model views can be frozen in the properties under the prop-
erty name "Model view: Frozen". These model views and the corre-
sponding enclosure legends are then no longer updated.
Updating model view
If the content of the layout space referenced by the model view was
changed, the message "Model view not up to date" appears over the top
of the model view when the page is opened. The model view must be
updated to match the contents of the layout space and model view.
1. Select the model view.
2. Select the menu item Utilities > Reports > Update.
The display in the model view is matched to the current status in
the layout space. Any newly-added components are shown, while
removed components are hidden.
