|
Setback at Start (P) | Specifies the setback distance or percentage at the member start or "P" point depending upon which of the Length setback options are used. |
Setback at End (Q) | Specifies the setback distance or percentage at the member end or "Q" point depending upon which of the Length setback options are used. |
