Dimension and Division
  • Length – Specifies the length of the work frame and its longitudinal division. If the Length input field is activated, you define the length by means of the overall length and the number of regular fields.

    If the field is not activated, the fields can be defined individually by specification of the width for each individual field. Please also refer to the hints at the end of this section.

  • Width – The work frame width is determined analogously to the length.
  • Height – The work frame height is determined analogously to the length. You can specify the height of the work frame analogously to the height of the rectangular dimension.
  • Height is Absolute – Enabled when Height is unchecked. Normally, you enter the height of the different fields. When on, the list data define absolute height values.
  • Base – Base cylinder radius.
  • Top Radius – Top cylinder radius.
Axis Descriptions Axes labels are added according to the settings in the text pages. The axes labels can be moved to their destination by means of handles.
Insert Position Defines the insertion position of the work frame related to the insertion point.
Options
  • Roof Angle – If you want to have the form of a gabled roof for your work frame, you can enter the roof slope in degrees.
  • Ridge Height – If you want to have the form of a gabled roof for your work frame, you can enter the ridge height.
  • Ridge Width – If you want to have the form of a gabled roof for your work frame, you can enter the ridge width. If it is 0 or equal to the width of the work frame, only a roof surface will be created.
  • Segmentation – This input field indicates the number of circle segments into which the cylinder is divided.
  • At Left – The top of the triangle is modified to the left.
  • Roof Length – Indicates the length of the roof.
  • Ridge Width – Indicates the width of the ridge.
