Use cases

A vertical section of a tower with height range, capacity, faces, and RAD centre associations.

TOWSEC is the second level in the tower hierarchy (TOW > TOWSEC > TOWFACE > MOUNTPOINT). Each section belongs to a parent TOW and is classified by TOWSECTYPE (top, upper middle, lower middle, bottom, extension). The heightFrom/heightTo fields define the vertical span in metres, enabling sorted display and visual representation. Physical properties include diameter (cm), wall thickness (mm), material, and cross-section shape (round, triangular, square, rectangular, hexagonal). Section capacity (kg) and current/remaining load track structural utilisation at the section level. Mount point totals (total/available) roll up from child TOWFACE records. The Faces panel shows child TOWFACE records via comboKeyEntity with azimuth as a secondary display field, and includes a towerseclayout custom row type for visual section diagram. RAD Centres (RADCENTRE) are shown as a related list, linking radio access device positions to tower sections with height AGL, azimuth, and status.
