Profile Adding Mode
Profile Structure Design
Adding Methods
- Either a line or a start and end point is selected for a profile.
- When the cross section of a profile is on a line, the sweep direction of the profile turns parallel to the line.
- If a line is clicked, the profile is swept to the length of the line.
- This is the default method for the mechanical design program Vertex G4.
- Only the start and end point are selected for a profile.
- Even if the cross-section of a profile is on a line, the sweep direction of the profile is not changed.
- If a line is clicked, only the start or end point is selected, and the profile is not swept to the length according to the guide line.
- This is the default method for the plant design program Vertex G4 Plant.
