Displays the properties of profile systems. Profile systems are logical collections of profile parts that maintain the design basis and physical alignment of the profile parts design and manufacturing.

The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.

Active

Specifies whether a leaf system is active and applicable for modeling, drawing, and reporting operations. To exclude the leaf system from these operations, select No. In the hierarchy explorer, the lock icon is shown over the icon of the deactivated leaf system, and the detailed or light part associated with the leaf system is also deleted. In addition, because connections to deactivated leaf system are not valid, you must resolve such invalid connections in the To Do List. To change the leaf profile system back to the active state, select Yes; however, to have the detailed part, you must detail the leaf system explicitly. See Marine Structure Hierarchy in the Workspace Explorer for more information on leaf systems.

Approval State

Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.

Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) to reverse the status change.

You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.

Area

Specifies the cross-section area for the object. This property is read-only. To change this value, edit the object properties in Catalog or in the corresponding workbook.

Attachment Method

Specifies the method of trimming the profile web where it is attached to the plate system. The list is defined by the ShipStructStiffenerAttachmentMethod codelist.

Partial Trim indicates that Smart 3Dx trims the short side of the web.

No Trim indicates that Smart 3Dx does not trim the web.

Full Trim indicates that Smart 3Dx trims the entire web.

Continuity Type

Specifies the way in which the object system reacts when the system intersects another object system (your automatic splitting preference). The list is defined by the StructContinuity codelist.

Continuous

Indicates that the object system should split the other object system.

Intercostal

Indicates that the object system should be split by the other object system.

You cannot split objects that have a Continuity Type setting of Continuous.

Created By

Specifies the name of the person who created the object.

Cross Section Name

Specifies the name of the cross section.

Cross Section Type

Specifies the cross section type associated with the object.

Date Created

Specifies the creation date of the object.

Date Last Modified

Specifies the date of the last modification to the object.

Dry Center of Gravity

Specifies the location of the dry center-of-gravity for the object.

Dry Weight

Specifies the dry weight of the object.

End Connection Type

Specifies the connection type associated with the end of the object.

Flange Direction

Specifies the direction of the web thickness for symmetrical crossing-sections or the direction of the flange and web thickness for unsymmetrical cross-sections.

Has Substituted Boundary

Specifies whether the object has a substituted boundary.

Has Substituted Definition Object

Specifies whether the object has a substituted definition object.

Hyperlink

Specifies the URL or local file path associated with the object. Click the hyperlink to open the page or object in your default browser. Point to the hyperlink to display the URL or path as a tooltip.

Description

Specifies the descriptive text associated with the hyperlink.

URL

Specifies the web address or local file name associated with the hyperlink. The URL must include the protocol, such as http: or https:, as well as the domain name. For example, https://hexagonppm.com/.

Is Named by Rule

Specifies whether the object name is determined by a rule.

Is Root

Indicates whether an object is a root system.

Landing Curve Projection Method

Specifies how the software locates the landing curve with respect to the parent plate system thickness. The list is defined by the ShipStructLandingCurveProjectionMethod codelist

Along Web indicates that Smart 3Dx projects the landing curve in-line with the profile web.

Normal indicates that Smart 3Dx projects the landing curve normal to the plate surface.

Last Modified By

Specifies the name of the person who last modified the object.

Length

Specifies the object length.

Load Point

Specifies the cross-section load point through which the landing curve passes.

Mounting Face

Specifies the cross-section face to mount to the plate system. The options vary depending on the profile cross-section.

Name

Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip. If the name is not defined by a rule, User Defined displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, Naming Rule displays. If you type a name in this box, Smart 3Dx automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.

Naming Category

Specifies the naming category. The naming rule uses the category in naming the profile part that is a child to the profile system.

Naming Rule Prog ID

Specifies the Prog ID associated with the naming rule.

Offset Method

Specifies how the profile is offset from and trimmed by the plate system when the profile crosses design seams with leaf plates of varying thickness, and the profile is on the thickened sides of the plates. The list is defined by the StiffenerOffsetMethod codelist.

Position on thinnest plate indicates that each profile part of the parent profile system is mounted to the thinnest plate part that the profile part crosses. The profile part is then trimmed to any thicker plate it crosses.

Position on thickest plate indicates that each profile part of the parent profile system is mounted to the thickest plate part that the profile part crosses. No trimming occurs.

Offset and trim indicates that each profile part of the parent profile system is mounted at the specified Offset Value from the molded surface of the plate system. Profile part position is not adjusted based on plate part thickness. Each profile part is trimmed by any plate part thicker than the offset distance.

Offset with no trim indicates that each profile part of the parent profile system is mounted at the specified Offset Value from the molded surface of the plate system. Profile part position is not adjusted based on plate part thickness. Profile parts are not trimmed by any plate part thicker than the offset distance.

This option is useful when the gap from successively thicker plates can be filled by welding:

Orientation

Specifies the orientation of the edge reinforcement.

Parent System

Specifies the parent system for the object. Recently used systems that are appropriate to assign as the parent system for this object as well as the Select from Workspace and Select from Model options display in the list. The most recently used system displays at the top.

The parent system of the object must have an Approval Status of Working before you can change the Parent System value. If the Approval Status of the parent system is not set to Working, this value is read-only.

Select Interactively

Turns on or off the interactive selection. When this option is on, you can select the parent object in a graphic view or any of the explorers.

Select from Workspace ICON Select from Workspace

Displays the Select Parent System Dialog with the Workspace tab open. The workspace is the subset of the active model database you specified when you started your design session. Navigate the hierarchy to select the parent system, and then click OK.

Select from Model ICON Select from Model

Displays the Select Parent System Dialog with the Model tab open. The model is all of the objects in the active model database, including those that are not part of your workspace. Navigate the hierarchy to select the parent system, and then click OK.

Priority Number

Specifies the relative continuity priority. For example, if a continuous part of priority 1 intersects a continuous part of priority 2, the priority 2 part is intercostal at the intersection.

Profile Type

Specifies the profile type of the part. The list is defined by the StrMfgProfileType codelist.

Split Priority

Specifies the relative continuity priority. For example, if a continuous part of priority 1 intersects a continuous part of priority 2, the priority 2 part is intercostal at the intersection.

Start Connection Type

Specifies the connection type associated with the beginning of the object.

Thickness Offset

Specifies the offset thickness for the object.

Web Thickness Offset

Specifies the offset direction along the plate face.

Web Thickness Orientation

This property is not used.

Wet Center of Gravity

Specifies the location of the wet center-of-gravity for the object.
