- Default (the rising direction in an inclined plane)
- Select direction
- Select the start point of the direction line.

- Click the line location.
Note:
- Before selecting a location for the division line, you can change its direction to horizontal or vertical also by using the cursor keys Arrow right or Arrow left.
- When a framing is divided into fields, the program will add one origin point to each field. You can change the direction of the field and the properties of the framing by editing the origin point.
- After selecting the origin points and properties, you can refresh the framing using the Add and Update a Framing function.
