SOLIDOS Modeler - Polyline

Polyline - creates a polyline that passes through the list of points provided:

The Polyline activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - name of the activity
    The polyline name must follow the naming rules
  • Closed - indicates whether the polyline is closed or open (connects the end point to the start point)
  • Points Origin - Indicates the point data source, it can be:
    • Variable - indicates that the point list comes from a variable or property which will come from the Property Creation frame:
      
      Note, this list of points comes from the axis assigned to longitudinal devices. The points that may appear in the table above will only be used to generate the model
    • List of points - the user must build a list of points
      To edit, click the button () that appears in this field, or select this property in the properties box. It will be open or geometry list editor
  • Use Centroid - indicates whether the polyline is drawn with absolute coordinates (unchecked) or relative coordinates (checked). When checked, the polyline is moved by its centroid to the position marked by the Center
  property
  • Vector - name of the vector normal to the plane of the polyline
    normally used with the Use Centroid option, to draw the polyline on another plane:
    
    
  • Object Visible - indicates whether or not the polyline should be drawn in the preview
    
    

If the text gets too big/small, or the sphere that represents the point gets too big or small, use the buttons ( A, a, , ) at the top of the screen to change the preview

• Elevation - Elevation of the polyline (real number)
• Vector - normal vector of the Rectangle ( vector)
• Center - center of the Rectangle ( dot)
