Displays the options that you use to place a reference curve by intersection in the model.
Reference Curve by Intersection Properties
Opens the Reference Curve By Intersection Properties Dialog, which you use to view and modify the properties of the reference curve that you are about to place in the model.
Plate System
Specifies the plate systems. You can select multiple plate systems to place multiple reference curves at the same time. The software uses the same boundaries for each reference curve. After placement, the reference curves 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 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.
Reject
Clears all selected objects.
Accept
Accepts all selected objects.
Type
Specifies the curve type. Select Reference, Grid, Mark, Tangent, Knuckle, Paint, Construction, or Area Limit.
Name
Defines the name of the reference curve.
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.
