In this video tutorial, I will show you how to adjust the standard lightning protection

settings.

In this example, I will change the settings for the currently open project.

If you want to make changes to the standard settings that are valid for several projects,

you can create different templates in DIN project.

Once you create a new drawing, you can then choose between the different templates.

More information on that can be found in the DIN project tutorial on managing templates.

You can open the lightning protection options by clicking on the icon with the red lightning.

Here you can define the distance for the disconnection point above turf, which is currently set

at 80 cm.

In the accessories tab, you can adjust the material that is used above the turf

and below turf, adapt the used material and product types.

By selecting this checkmark, you can choose to use numbered disconnection point tags.

A deselection means that the numbered disconnection point tags are replaced by blank tags that

can be numbered with inserts afterwards.

Let's move to the visibility tab.

Here you can choose which components in your model or in the viewport should be displayed

as standard.

The viewport will be important at a later stage for the dimensioning of your plan.

I will explain that in an extra tutorial.

The lightning protection components tab enables you to define your pre-settings for the usage

of various conductor holders and clamps for the respective planning method.

For the isolated protection method, you have the option to further choose between the different

variants.

According to the earth termination system tab, we have the option to adjust the mesh

size and choose if our mesh should be evenly distributed.

Furthermore, we can adjust the settings for the horizontal and vertical distances.

You will find more information on the settings for the earthing system and on many other

topics in our different tutorials on the e-learning platform.

That's it for this tutorial.

Thanks for watching.
