Displays the options that you use to split a profile.

 Properties

Opens the Profile Seam Properties Dialog, which you can use to define properties for the seam that you are about to place.

 Profile System

Specifies the profile system or the plate system that has associated profile systems to split. You can select stiffener profile systems or linear beam profile systems. The following option displays for this step:

Select - Specifies the profile selection method. Select Plate Systems to select profiles by identifying their parent plate system. Select Profile Systems to identify profiles directly.

 References

Specifies objects that intersect the profile system at which to place the split. You can select objects in either the graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer. Objects that you can select as references include: reference curves, grid planes, plate systems, edge reinforcement systems, seams (design, planning, and straking), profile systems (landing curve), and edge ports including openings.

The following options display for this step:

Method

Specifies the seam placement method.

Offset

Places the seam at a distance from the selected reference objects, using the selected offset method.

Along Profile

Places the seam along the profile landing curve. This method displays the PinPoint Command.

Offset Method

Specifies the offset measurement method. This option is only available when you select Offset in the Method box.

Girth

Measure the offset value along the surface of the profile's parent plate system.

Vertical

Measure the offset value in the direction of the z-axis of the global coordinate system.

Transverse

Measure the offset value in the direction of the y-axis of the global coordinate system.

Longitudinal

Measure the offset value in the direction of the x-axis of the global coordinate system.

Offset Value

Defines the offset value. You can specify the direction of the offset by typing a plus (+) or minus (-) sign in front of the offset value. A positive value is offset in the positive direction of the closest main coordinate system axis. If you type 0, the seam is placed at the reference. This option is only available when you select Offset in the Method box.

Finish

Splits the profile using the parameters that you have defined.

 Reject

Rejects the selected objects.

 Accept

Accepts the selected objects and advances the command to the next step.

Seam Type

Specifies the profile seam type. Select Design Seam or Planning Seam.

Auto Split

Splits the profile system after placing the profile seam.

Auto Region

Creates a profile region using seam points for better control and management of seam profile orientations.
