Geometric manipulations

Several geometric manipulations are available to modify the already input polygonal partial cross-sections. The functions are analogous to geometric functions for SCIA Engineer structural entities (e.g. 1D members).

Geometric manipulations

Move	Moves selected partial section/sections to a new location.
Copy	Makes a copy of the selected partial section/sections.
Multicopy	Makes several copies of the selected partial section/sections.
Rotate	Rotates the selected partial section/sections.
Scale	Enlarges or scales down the selected partial section/sections.
Mirror	Creates a mirror image of the selected partial section/sections.
Trim	Trims the selected partial section/sections to a given border entity.
Extend	Extends the selected partial section/sections to a given border entity.

Edit polyline

Insert node	Inserts a node to the selected part of a polygon.
Remove node	Removes the selected from the selected part of a polygon.

Geometric manipulation with curves

Edit arc angle	Changes the angle of the selected arc.
Edit arc bulge	Changes the bulge of the selected arc.
Edit arc radius	Changes the radius of the selected arc.
Convert curve to line	Converts the selected curve to a straight line.
Convert line to circle arc	Converts the selected straight line to an arc.

Note: For more information about geometric manipulations in general see chapter Geometry.
