RM Bridge Cast Help

General tab

There is a 3D view of selected casting set or all casting sets in the main plot window. Other two small windows show schematic view of segment in active casting set which will be cast. The upper window is the view from the top (plan view), bottom window is the view from side (from fixed bulkhead). It is possible to resize the windows. By holding the left-mouse button and moving the mouse you can pan, rotate or zoom the view of the main window as specified by tab-buttons at the bottom of the screen. The buttons below main window allow also to pan (Move), zoom (Zoom), rotate (Rotate), or reset the view. The last button opens the dialog where you can set the view options. It can be also invoked by selecting appropriate item in menu which will appear by pressing the right mouse button. In that menu you can also quickly change some view options, more detailed ones are in the invoked dialog. This view option dialog can be also invoked in two smaller windows on the right side. Nodes are shown as yellow cubes, smaller violet cylinders are rivets and the gray lines are depicting the segments. Active casting set is shown in red color instead in gray.
