Cross section: How to shift the origin ?

When a cross section variant is assigned to a segment point, the origin of the cross section has been positioned onto the axis. There are 3 ways to shift the position:

Use the offsets at the segment point

The cross section can be shift by to values horizontally or vertically, resp. This is not so flexible, because tables and formulas are not available.

Start the definition of the cross section defining 2 auxiliary lines

Knowing the need of a shift (maybe dependent on a table), create at the beginning construction lines parallel to the horizontal and vertical axis. Then use always these lines instead of the axes to reference further objects in the cross section.

Modify the axis lines (CL_1 and CL2)

A vertical shift by a value or a pre-defined variable can be entered for the axis line CL_1. Analogously, a horizontal shift by a value or a pre-defined variable may be entered for axis line CL_2.
