Summary

Notifications in Glass Balustrade module are automated checks that continuously validate your inputs and calculation results. These checks ensure your design stays within approved limits defined by technical data, design codes, and product approvals. Notifications guide you away from invalid configurations and help you make corrections early, resulting in a smoother and more reliable design workflow.

Prerequisites

Make sure you:

  • Are logged in to your PROFIS Engineering account.
  • Have opened the Glass Balustrade module.
  • Have entered all required design inputs.

If needed, refer to the article How to access the Glass Balustrade module in PROFIS Engineering

Step-by-step instructions

  1. How notifications (Scope Checks) work

    Notifications, also called Scope Checks, run automatically at several points in your workflow:

    • Before calculation
      PROFIS Engineering checks whether your basic design setup is valid.
      Typical checks include:
      • Glass pane length
      • Glass pane height
      • Service wind-load
      • Interior shoe height
      • Interior shoe width

    If something is outside the allowed range, calculations are blocked and an error message appears.

  2. Troubleshooting notification (Scope Check) messages
  • Read the full message 
    For example: What the issue is (e.g., "Glass pane length is too long")

  • Check typical limits
    Blocked designs often relate to one of the following being outside the permitted range:

    • Glass pane length
    • Glass pane height
    • Service wind-load
    • Interior shoe height
    • Interior shoe width

    Correcting these inputs usually resolves the notification.

  1. Use warnings proactively
    Warnings that do not block design, they highlight:
  • Basic assumptions of the design
  • Safer installation recommendations
  • Conditions close to the limit

Relevant warnings also appear in the Design Report.

  1. Contact Hilti when needed
    If a notification is unclear or you believe your situation should be covered:
  • Save your PROFIS project
  • Take a screenshot of the notification
  • Contact your local Hilti technical support

They can help interpret the message and recommend design alternatives

Tip

Check the Results and Notifications panel frequently as you modify geometry or loads. This helps you catch issues early and avoid repeatedly re‑running blocked calculations.
