Shapes
|
- Modify
Length – A grip is created for length change (or for position
change) and all measurements can be altered.
- Move Cuts
– A grip is created for the section. You might now
have one grip for changing the length and one for changing the section.
Note: When you move a section grip in a way to
shorten the length of the shape, the length grip is moved simultaneously.
When you move the length grip over the section
grip, the shape will be cut off at the same spot, because you have not moved
the sectional plane. When you move the section grip over the length grip, you
eliminate the section from the shape (although the sectional plane remains at
the section grip) the section grip seizes the sectional plane, while the
length grip seizes the shape length.
When you stretch a cut shape, the section angle
within the shape remains the same, just like in reality.
- Move
Holes – Drill holes receive a grip and can be moved. Otherwise they
remain where inserted when the shape is stretched.
- Move
Polycuts – Poly-sections receive a grip and can be moved (the
original form of the Smartline is stored; therefore you only move the line).
Otherwise, the section remains where inserted when the shape is stretched.
- Only
along Centerline – Shapes can only be stretched along their axis
(i.e., a change of position is not possible). .
- Increment –
When you have entered a value > 0 in this input field, the length of the
shape can only be changed via
handles in preset modular steps. When you
have entered 0, any kind of change can be performed.

Plates
|
- Modify
Plate Size
– A grip for changing thickness is displayed, in
all other cases only form changes can be performed.
- Move
Cuts – All other plates fields have same definition as the shape
fields. Please refer to this chapter for more detailed information.
- Move
Holes – Drill holes receive a grip and can be moved. Otherwise they
remain where inserted when the shape is stretched.
- Move
Polycuts – Poly-sections receive a grip and can be moved (the
original form of the poly-line is stored; therefore you only move the line).
Otherwise, the section remains where inserted when the shape is stretched.
- Increment –
When you have entered a value > 0 in this input field, the thickness of the
plate can only be changed via
handles in preset modular steps. When you
have entered 0, any kind of change can be performed.
