SettingDescription
3D Dynamics Three dimensional schematic casework is dynamically attached to the pointer crosshair during placement, when on.
Close Perimeter With a Reset, schematic casework is added from the start point of the first segment of casework to the end point of the last segment of casework, when on.
Base Offset Sets the Z axis distance between the elevation of the active floor and the elevation of the item being placed (usually the bottom surface). Base Offset can be a negative value.
Note: Base Offset works relative to the active floor elevation at time of placement. During instances when the ACS Plane and ACS Plane Snap locks are turned off, Base Offset is relative to the Active Depth.
Placement (icon) Sets the position of the schematic casework relative to the data points that place the casework.
  • - Places the schematic casework to the left of the data point creation line.
  • - Places the schematic casework centered upon the data point creation line.
  • - Places the schematic casework to the right of the data point creation line.
