3D Selection options
3D selection tool allows an easy selection of nodes, beam elements, tendons, springs and cable elements directly from the generated 3D RM model and can be stored in local assemblies structure. This is performed using one of three selection options: 3D box, Rubber band and Element.
Menu item | Description |
---|---|
3D box Selection | Performs a selection of all elements inside the cube defined as follows:
|
Rubber band Selection | Performs a selection of all elements inside the block defined as follows:
|
Element Selection | Performs a selection of all elements on a linear selection of elements, defined as follows:
Resizing
|
Clear Selection | Clears all existing element selections done in 3d model. |
Save Selection | Save selection in assembly structure. A name for the new assembly is required and also options to insert before or after in the exiting tree are offered. |
Parts | Only the checked parts will be actively selected if this option is used. The same behavior will occur with selection of Deck or Pier elements. |
Structure | Check only the needed structural elements that are required in the selection for Nodes, elements, tendons, spring and cables. Multiple selection can be performed. |
Side views | Allows an easy manipulation of the 3d model for selection be adjusting the viewing direction: South, North, East, West and Top. |
