Rotate dialog
Used to rotate the selected portions of the structure about the specified axis through a specified distance. The selected portions may be copied or moved.
Opens when the Rotate tool is selected in the Structure group on the Geometry ribbon tab.
Note: Unlike the tool, the Rotate tool allows you to generate copies about any arbitrary axis instead of only one parallel to the global axes.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Angle | Type the angle of sweep. |
| Axis Passes Through | Define the axis of rotation by either a pair of existing nodes or two arbitrary points. |
| Generate Mode | The Copy option generates new structural elements. The Move option changes the coordinates of the selected structural elements. |
| Link Bays | (Available only for Copy option) This option connects the copy with the original geometry by creating new linking members between them. |
