Title: Traditional Cross-Section Plotting
Post by: eea123 on April 28, 2012, 01:31:28 PM

I've adjusted the value of the Alignment Offest to (-50 and 50) to get a widened corridor, but it seems to want to round up during the plotting and the cross sections plot with offsets of -55 and 55.  If I drop the Alignment Offset value down to (-45 and 45) and re-Execute, the plots have odd values like -49 and 49.  Curious how that variable is being handled by the program?

Thats odd! Probably a bug. I'll look into this

If you look into the menu "Output Settings" on the Surface Cross-Sections form you'll find a part "Section Spacing" to the left bottom. Change these settings to zero and you'll get it as you want.

I'll play around with the settings more.  I changed it to 0 for both offsets spacing between cross-sections in the output settings, but still get -55 to 55 when plotted.  Not a big deal, I can work around it.  Thanks for all your effort on this endeavor.
