| Orientation | Defines the orientation of the surface member relative to the placement line, which is established by the datapoints that place the surface member. |
| Height | Defines the height (from the base) of the surface member. |
| Width | Defines the thickness of the surface member. |
| Side Offset | Sets an offset distance and direction for surface member segments which is parallel to a line defined by two placement datapoints. Direction can be set by using the Left/Right option; or by setting a negative distance for Left offset and a positive distance for Right offset. |
| Base Offset | Sets the X axis distance from the active ACS to the top of the surface component. This setting can be a negative value. |
