Add a Profile That Starts From a Point and is Perpendicular to a Surface

General

The cross-section of the profile is swept to a profile from the point selected to the specified reference plane in a perpendicular direction.

• Move the cross section selected from the profile library to a point, change the position of the cross section's insertion point, and select a point (A) as the starting point of the profile part.
• Select the direction of the normal of a planar face as the sweep direction (B).
• Enter the exact value for the profile length on the keyboard.

Add a profile from the point so that it is at an angle of 90 degrees to the selected surface

1. Start adding a profile:
   • Vertex G4: On the tab, in the Add group, select Add Profile.
   • Vertex G4 Plant: On the tab, in the Steel Structures group, select Add Profile.
   • Select the contextual function: Add > Profile
2. Select a profile cross section from the browser:
   • By using the context-sensitive function Select or
   • By double-clicking the cross-section.
   • Click the profile, drag it a little and release the mouse selection button.
3. Select the table ID determining the profile size from the list.
   • Or if the profile does not have a dimension table, enter the dimension in the dimension table that opens
4. If necessary, attach item data to the profile part.
5. If necessary, rotate the direction of the profile, mirror the profile or change the profile reference point with auxiliary actions.
   • Use the auxiliary function or press the F8 key to change the reference point.
     • Change the Reference Point
   • Use the auxiliary functions , or press the F9 key to rotate the cross-section of the profile.
     • You can select , or enter a rotation angle.
     • Rotating a Cross Section
   • If necessary, use an auxiliary function or press the F9 key to mirror the cross-section of the profile.
6. Select a point in the model as the position of the cross section.
   • To select a point other than the end point from the guide curve, hold down the Alt key.
7. Define the face's normal direction as the profile direction, as follows:
   • Select this checkbox: and
   • Click a planar surface, the normal of which will determine the profile direction.
8. Define the profile length:
   • Enter a value on the keyboard or.
   • Select an end point from the model space.
9. Add the next profile. If you want to change the profile you want to add:
   • Click the middle mouse button or
   • Press the V key. (V= Confirm).
   • Select the context-sensitive function: OK.
