Editing the Analytical Section Profile

Used to edit the model annotation section profile that will appear on the analytical members. The analytical section profile is a symbol that shows where the analytical member's cross section is. The analytical section profile is not coincident with the physical member cross section when the analytical line is located “At placement points” and the placement point is something other than center/center. See Edit Model Annotation Style for information on using the other fields on this dialog.



SettingDescription
Analytical section profile label placement options

The label placement options determine location and scale of labels relative to analytical member elements.

  • Section scale — Determines scale of section graphics attached to analytical member.
  • Label position value — Using the Label position option menu, enter the value to use to position the label along the length of the member. For example, if you are entering % of member length, enter 50 to place the label at the halfway point of the member. If you enter 100, the label will appear at the end of the member. If you select one of the Distance values, enter the distance in units (1:0 is one foot, for example).
  • Label position option menu — Determines the label position by combining the Label position value with one of the positioning options:
    • % of member length – Uses the label position value as a percentage of the member length.
    • Distance from end 1 – Uses the label position value as a measured distance from the first end of the member.
    • Distance from end 2 – Uses the label position value as a measured distance from the second end of the member.
Analytical Line Symbology Overrides

The label symbology is determined with the settings in this region of the dialog.

  • Level — When on, overrides the level set in the section profile style in the Model Annotation dialog.
  • Color — When on, overrides the color set in the section profile style in the Model Annotation dialog.
  • Style — When on, overrides the style set in the section profile style in the Model Annotation dialog.
  • Weight — When on, overrides the line weight set in the section profile style in the Model Annotation dialog.
