Displays the options that you use to create a hole fitting in the model.

 Hole Fitting Properties

Activates the Hole Fitting Properties Dialog, which you use to view and modify the properties of the fitting that you are about to place in the model.

 Select Hole Trace

Select a hole trace used to define the hole fitting.

Finish

Places the hole fitting in the model.

 Reject

Clears the selected object.

 Accept

Accepts the selected object.

Parent

Select the parent system for an outfitting catalog hole fitting. The Parent option is available only when you select an outfitting catalog fitting by clearing the By rule option and selecting More in the Fitting type option.

The structural part is the parent for structural fittings.

Fitting type

Select the hole fitting to place with the hole. If By Rule is selected, then this option is disabled.

By rule

Select to allow the software to automatically select the fitting type according to the Fitting Selection Rules in the software.

 Flip

Moves the fitting to the other side of the structure. The default side for fittings is the side opposite of profile stiffeners as defined for the structure in the Molded Forms task.

 Sketch

Select this option to sketch the fitting in the Draft 2D environment. The Sketch option is available only when you select a structural fitting that can be sketched, such as Wall Attached. For more information, see Sketch Options below.

Sketch Options

 Sketching Plane

Specifies the sketching plane for the fitting. This is the first step in defining the fitting.

Add Intersecting Item

Select objects in the model that intersect the sketching plane that you want to use as reference geometry. These extra objects appear in the Draft 2D environment.

Add Projection Item

Select objects in the model that do not intersect the sketching plane that you want to use as reference geometry. These extra objects are projected onto the sketching plane and appear in the Draft 2D environment.

 Sketch 2D

Activates the Draft 2D view.

 Coincident Plane

Specifies that you want to sketch on the plane that you select. For more information, see Define a coincident plane.

 Offset from Plane

Specifies a sketching plane that is offset from a plane that you select. If you choose this option, you must define the offset distance. For more information, see Define an offset plane.

 Angle from Plane

Specifies a sketching plane that is at a specified angle from a plane that you select. If you choose this option, you must define an axis of rotation and the angle or slope. For more information, see Define a plane using an angle from another plane.

 Plane by Point & Vector

Specifies the sketching plane using two points to define a vector normal to the sketching plane and a third point to define the sketching plane position along the vector. For more information, see Define a plane using a point and a normal vector.

 Plane By Three Points

Specifies the sketching plane using three points that you specify in the model. For more information, see Define a plane using three points.

Plane By Vectors Normal

Defines a plane normal to a selected plane, and coincident with a vector between two selected points. For more information, see Define a plane by a normal vector from another plane.

Maintain the relationships on the plane with its definition method

Maintains the relationships of the plane to the definition method and the geometry used by the definition method. For example, a plane created with Offset from Plane  maintains the relationship of the selected plane and the Offset value. Otherwise, this option disables the relationships of the plane to allow moving of the plane.

Offset

Specify the offset distance for the sketching plane from the selected plane. You can specify the offset dynamically in graphics or by typing the distance. The Offset option is available only when you use the Offset from Plane option.

Angle

Specify the angle at which to place the sketching plane relative to the selected plane. You must define the axis of rotation using two points before you can define the angle. The Angle option is available only when you use the Angle from Plane option.

Step

Specifies the offset or angle step.

 Select Vector

Select the vector normal to the sketching plane. This option is available only when you use the Plane by Point & Vector option.

 Define Point

Specify the point along the vector at which to place the sketching plane. This option is available only when you use the Plane by Point & Vector option.

 Define Point 1

Specify the location of the first of three points that defines the sketching plane. This option is available only when you are using the Plane By Three Points option.

 Define Point 2

Specify the location of the second of three points that defines the sketching plane. This option is available only when you are using the Plane By Three Points option.

 Define Point 3

Specify the location of the third of three points that defines the sketching plane. This option is available only when you are using the Plane By Three Points option.

Select Plane

Select the plane to which your sketching plane is to be normal. This option is available only when you are using the Plane By Vectors Normal option.

Select First Point

Specify the location of the first vector point. Your sketching plane is parallel to this vector. This option is available only when you are using the Plane By Vectors Normal option.

Select Second Point

Specify the location of the second vector point. Your sketching plane is parallel to this vector. This option is available only when you are using the Plane By Vectors Normal option.
