Displays the options that you use to place a design or planning seam in the model.

 Seam by Intersection Properties

Opens the Seam Properties Dialog, which you use to view and modify the properties of the seam that you are about to place in the model.

 Plate System

Specifies the plate systems. You can select multiple plate systems to place multiple seams at the same time. The software uses the same boundaries for each seam. After placement, the seams are unrelated to each other and can be edited as individual entities.

 Intersecting Objects

Specifies the objects that intersect the plate system for which you want to generate seams.

 Boundaries

Defines the boundaries of the seam. You can define the boundaries by selecting objects, including other seams, in the model. If you select objects in the model and those objects are moved, the software automatically resizes the seam to maintain the boundary relationship. See the Define Boundary Controls section below.

Finish

Creates the seam using the defined parameters.

Plate Split Delay

This option is available only when you modify a design seam.

Select this option to delay the split plate update to a more convenient time. The new position and boundaries of the design seam will appear in the graphic view when this option is selected. However, the plate being split is placed on the To Do List with the message Plate System split was stopped due to delay split with a status of Out of Date. You are responsible for going to the To Do List and updating the plate system at a later time. If you do not select this option, the plate is updated as soon as you move the design seam, which can take several minutes to process, but no To Do List item is created for the plate.

Seam Type

Specifies the type of seam to place. Select Design Seam or Planning Seam.

Define Boundary Controls

Available when you use the Boundaries option.

 Pick Boundaries

Selects objects in the model or in the Workspace Explorer to define the boundaries. This option is only available when you are defining the boundaries.

 Solve Ambiguity

If the objects that you selected in the model for the boundary define an ambiguous solution, then the software prompts you to select one bounded section to clarify the needed boundary. This ambiguity only occurs if one of the boundaries wraps around both sides of the profile or seam, such as the hull. Move the cursor over a bounded section, and then click to select.

 Boundary List

Opens the Boundary List Dialog. This dialog box allows you to review and define the boundaries.

 Reject

Clears all selected plates or boundaries.

 Accept

Accepts all selected plates or boundaries.

Seam Type

Specifies the type of seam that you are placing. Select Design Seam or Planning Seam.
