Reviews and modifies straight features.
Properties
Opens a dialog box with properties for the selected feature. Allows you to review the properties of the selected feature and change the value assigned to a property.
Move From
Defines the origin of the move vector. If you do not define a starting point, the current location of the straight feature is assumed to be the starting point.
Move To
Defines the termination point of the move vector.
Plane
Plan Plane
Defines the work surface as the XY plane at the depth of the active end. You also can press CTRL+1 to select this option.
Elevation Plane: East-West (
Z Plane: X-Axis)
Defines the work surface as the XZ plane. You also can press CTRL+2 to select this option.
Elevation Plane: North-South (
Z Plane: Y-Axis)
Defines the work surface as the YZ plane. You also can press CTRL+3 to select this option.
Plane by Turn/Branch
Defines the work surface as the plane defined by an existing turn or branch. You select the turn or branch to set the plane. You also can press CTRL+4 to select this option.
Plane by Three Points
Defines the work surface using three points that you define. You also can press CTRL+5 to select this option.
No Plane
Clears any work surfaces. The software does not project points that you place to any plane. You also can press CTRL+6 to select this option.
Run
Specifies the name of the duct run associated with the straight feature. You can select a different run from the list if necessary.
<New Duct Run> displays the New Duct Run dialog box. Use this option to create a new duct run.
<Select Graphically> allows you to select an existing run in a graphic view, or the Workspace Explorer.
<Load More Runs> loads all the runs that belong to the parent system. This option is not available after you load all the runs, or if the parent system contains less than 200 runs.
More displays the Select Duct Run Dialog. Use this option to select a duct run that is associated with a different ducting system.
Shape
Defines the shape of the duct. The shape you select determines the other controls that display on the ribbon.
Rectangle
Width
Defines the width of the feature.
Depth
Defines the depth of the feature.
Radius
Defines the corner radius of a rectangular duct.
Round
Diameter
Defines the diameter of the feature.
Flat Oval
Width
Defines the width of the feature.
Depth
Defines the depth of the feature.
Orientation
Defines the orientation of the straight feature. A value of 0 results in a straight feature with the width horizontal and the depth vertical. A value of 90 degrees results in the width vertical and the depth horizontal. The value for an angle ranges from 0 to 360 degrees.
Length Lock
Turns on or off locking for the length of the leg. If the length is locked, then you cannot change the length value.
Offset
Defines the distance for offset that the software uses during feature placement. The reference is centerline, width, or depth). The route plane need not be active to locate the offset from the plane point.
