Handrail - Cells-Segments tab

Note: The settings on this tab correspond to the segments of parametric construction.
SettingDescription
Create segments When checked, activates segment settings. The handrail is subdivided into several independent segments, each having their own start, end and inner posts.
Length is maximum length  When checked, the given length will not be overridden. Meaning, the indicated length is the maximum length of a segment and mustn’t be exceeded.
Segment length Defines the length of the different segments. It may be that the length is corrected, depending on the default settings of spacing.
Gap between Sets the gap distance from one segment to the other.
Distribution Sets the method of splitting of the segments. This indicates the distribution of the segment lengths along the length of the handrail segment.
  • Evenly – means that all segments have the same length.
  • Fit first – means that all segments have the indicated length, but the first segment is shorter.
  • Fit last – means that all segments have the indicated length, but the last segment is shorter.
Group status Determines whether another parent group has to be formed out of all handrail components (including their inner group structure). 
Options available are:
  • Don't group – No Group
  • Create groups – Component Part Group
  • Create assemblies – Assembly
Group name Designates the name of the parent group.
