Overview of Functions
| Info |
|---|
Create a cast unit concrete library along the path. |
| Note |
|---|
Path> Concrete part Object is a part created by extrude extruding section or link between profiles. The direction of section and direction of part creation are limited according to the following rules. - Path > Concretet parts Concrete Objects profile can only be created in a plane normal to the master line. - Path > The Concrete Object creation path of the concrete part is always parallel to the master line. - Path > Concrete parts objects have this constraint constraints because they are used to implement geometry that requires the length dynamically updated based on the layout that the library are assigned. Geometry and the length needs to be automatically extended / reduced according to the layout to which the library is assigned. EX) A girder |

On/Off Option
| Info |
|---|
Sets whether a cross section member is created. Set whether to use the User Section. |
Define profile plane
Displayed when Use User Section is ON
| Info |
|---|
Define the plane on which to create the profile. |
Start of target line : Defines the plane that is normal to the master line as the profile plane at the position spaced in the direction of the end point by the offset value entered from the start point of the master line.
End of target line : Defines the plane that is normal to the master line as the profile plane at the position spaced apart from the end point of the master line by the offset value entered.
User defined : Defines the plane that is normal to the master line as the profile plane at the position on the master line corresponding to the entered ratio value.
Distance from start profile plane* : Defines the plane that is normal to the master line as the profile plane at a distance away from the Start profile plane.

| Note |
|---|
Path > Concrete : Only User Sections with Material type 'Concrete' appear in the list. Path > Steel : Only User Sections with Material type 'Steel' will appear in the list. |

Cardinal point
| Info |
|---|
Sets the center-line position of the member. |
Cardinal point : Sets the center line position based on the Bounding box of the profile.
Offset-y : Input the additional distance from the recently set , present Cardinal point to the direction of the Local-y axis of the profile.
Offset-z : Input the additional distance from the recently set, present Cardinal point to the direction of the Local-z axis of the profile.
Define from view : When clicking on the button, you can set the Cardinal point by clicking anywhere on the profile plan.
Create Tab > 3rd sub tab
Auto matching rule
| Info |
|---|
Set the Automatic Vertex Matching Method between the Start and End profiles. |
Quadrant connection : After matching the reference, vertices of each quadrant, vertices are sequentially matched according to the Loop Sequence of the profile in the direction of 'up → down' and 'left → right'.
Quadrant half area : After matching the reference vertices of each quadrant, vertices are sequentially matched within each quadrant, according to the Loop Sequence of the profile.
Loop sequence : After matching the reference vertices of the first quadrant , match the vertices sequentially according to the Loop Sequence of the profile.
However, if the number of vertices of start and end profiles does not match, quadrant half area method is automatically applied.
| Note |
|---|
Since the three methods mentioned above are automatic matching methods based on program rules, the desired vertex matching results that the user might have pursued is not guaranteed. Therefore, if it is possible to match the number of vertices in the Start profile and End profile through CAD work, then the Loop Sequence Method is recommendable. |
Rotate quadrant of end profile
| Info |
|---|
Rotates the End profile of the Quadrant order. (Only if the auto matching rule is Quadrant connection, Quadrant half area it appears.) |
Clockwise : Rotates the Quadrant order of the End profile clockwise.
Counterclockwise : Rotates the quadrant order of the end profile counterclockwise.
| Note |
|---|
The quadrants of the Start and End profiles may be ordered differently than expected by the user's internal rules or the behavior of the General Profile. The Rotate quadrant of end profile allows you to adjust the order of the quadrants in these situations. |

Define shape variation
| Info |
|---|
Defines the connection geometry between matched Vertices. |
Variation origin : Sets the reference point on the profile to determine whether the curve can be connected.
| Note |
|---|
Vertex Sets that have the same distance from the Variation origin are always connected in a straight line regardless of the settings of the Shape variation. For example, the figure below shows a part created by setting Variation origin differently and Curve order to '2 (Parabolic)' for the same profile. Looking at the connection shape of the upper vertex of the start / end profile, the left member has a different distance from the center-center, so the curved connection is applied, and the right member has the same distance from the center-top (0). You can see that a straight line connection is applied regardless. |
(If it is Polynomial)
Curve order-y : Sets the order of the curve with respect to the local y-axis direction.
Curve order-z : Sets the order of the curve with respect to the local z axis direction.
(If Arc)
Radius-y : Local Enter radius of curve for y-axis direction.
Radius-z : Enter the radius of the curve for the local z-axis direction.
Convexity-y : Check if applying curve that changes convexly about Local y-axis direction.
Convexity-z : Check if applying curve that changes convexly about Local z-axis direction.
| Note |
|---|
The rules for applying concave or convex curved shapes are shown below. - Concave: Tangential curve shape is applied at the position of the vertex close to the origin of the variation. - Convex: Tangential curve shape is applied at the position of Vertex which is far from Variation origin. |
Option

|---|
When checked on, it maintains the extrusion rate of the 'Shape variation' line according to the change of the length of the object. |
