Height
|
Specifies the height of the form, unless a shape or
form above prohibits extrusion. If a shape above only partially blocks
extrusion, Height controls the portion of the form that can be extruded past
the overlying shape or form. Enabled when the
option is selected.
Note: Height
extrusion direction is defined by either the Z-axis, perpendicular to the view;
or, if AccuDraw is on, by the AccuDraw Z-axis.
|
Width
|
Specifies the width of the form.
|
BaseOffset
|
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.
BaseOffset 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,
BaseOffset is relative to the Active
Depth.
|
Placement icon
|
Controls the position of the form relative to the
placement points which define the start and end points of the form:
- Places
the form to the left of the creation line (baseline).
- Places
the form centered on the creation line.
- Places
the form to the right of the creation line.
|
Top
|
Controls the geometry and location of the top of a
form:
- Fixed
Height — The form has a uniform height as specified in the
Height field. The top face of the form
is parallel to the bottom face.
-
Connect Shapes — The form is extruded so
that it connects to one or more shapes and/or forms. Selecting
Connect Shapes displays the
Delete Construction check box, which
enables or disables the deletion of the limiting shapes and/or forms.
-
Connect 3 pts — The top of the form is
located in an imaginary plane defined by three data points.
-
Connect 2 pts/View — The top of the form
is located in an imaginary plane constructed through two data points and
perpendicular to the view where the last data point is entered.
|
Delete Constructions
|
Enabled when the
option is selected, limiting shapes and forms are
deleted when on.
|
Close Perimeter
|
Controls whether forms are placed automatically as
closed forms or open forms:
When on, the form being placed dynamically changes
to a closed form. The string of successively placed form segments automatically
and dynamically join the first form segment at the start point.
When off, the form being placed appears as
individual forms, each attached to the previously placed segment, and the
endpoint of the last placed segment does not automatically join the first form
segment at the start point.
|
3D Dynamics
|
During placement, controls whether the display of
the form being placed dynamically displays in 3D or in 2D:
If on, forms being placed dynamically display in
3D.
If off, forms being placed display in 2D.
|
Roof Tolerance
|
Enabled when the
option is selected, a curved connecting shape is
stroked using the specified tolerance before it is used to create a roof on the
form when on. The curved shape is used to create a feature on the form that is
the exact shape of the curve when off.
|
Auto Connect
|
Trims form intersections and form ends during
placement, when on. Also recognizes conditions when forms intersect with other
elements, such as grid lines and square columns. Under these conditions, forms
are trimmed during placement as well.
