| // (Parallel Offset)
|
If on, enables control of offset distance and
direction of parallel offset to the original location.
Note: This setting
does not apply to slab forms or free forms.
|
| Parallel Offset option menu
|
Sets the offset to a particular side of the original
form’s location:
- Right — Sets the
placement mode as parallel to the right side.
- Left — Sets the
placement mode as parallel to the left side.
|
| Placement Offset X, Y, Z
|
Places a form at a different position than its
current location, offset by the values in the X, Y, and/or Z fields.
Each X, Y, and Z placement offset value represents
the difference in coordinates between two points.
- Z — 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. 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.
|
| Define
|
Defines the placement offset direction by placing
two data points.
|
| Extrusion Direction X, Y, Z
|
Defines/redefines the sweep direction of a form. The
sweep direction is a vector (X, Y, Z in the global coordinate system) used to
sweep the base shape of the form. During placement when Extrusion Direction is
off or when all values are 0, the sweep direction is perpendicular to the X/Y
plane.
|
| Define
|
Defines the extrusion direction by placing two data
points.
|
Used to change the default
direction of form extrusion. These settings are global settings and, except for
steel section forms, apply to all forms placed using form placement commands.
