Offset all edges - maintain slope
All outside perimeter edges move inward or outward in the current plane the same distance as you move
the selected Edge grip. The degree of arc is maintained. If holes have been added to the slab/roof slab, their
edges are unaffected.
Edge Grip Edit Modes for Curved Edges
For curved edges (whether originally created as such, or converted from a straight edge using the Convert
to arc mode listed above), the Edge grip has 5 modes, none of which change the slope:
■
Stretch edge - maintain slope
■
Move edge - maintain slope
■
Add new edges - maintain slope
■
Convert to line - maintain slope
■
Offset all edges - maintain slope
Stretch edge - maintain slope
Move the Edge grip inward or outward in the current plane to reposition the midpoint of the arc. Adjacent
edges are not affected. This is the default mode for curved edges.
Move edge - maintain slope
As you move the edge Grip inward or outward in the current plane, adjacent edges stretch or shorten
according to the direction of the move. The distance between the endpoints of the arc changes, but the
degree of arc is maintained.
Add new edges - maintain slope
As you move the edge Grip outward in its current plane, rather than adjacent edges being stretched or
reoriented, new edges are added, each with its own Edge and Edge Overhang grips. The degree of arc and
the distance between the arc endpoints are both maintained.
Covert to line - maintain slope
When you click, the curved edge is converted to a straight line between the endpoints of the arc. Adjacent
edges are not affected.
