Renumbering Options

Sorting Coordinate

When new nodes (elements) are renumbered, select a coordinate system of priority.

Revision of Civil 2010

• If Cartesian Coordinate is selected as the Sorting Coordinate

  Sorting Preference: When new nodes (elements) are renumbered, select a priority coordinate axis in the Global Coordinate system.

  1st: Assign an axis with the highest priority when renumbering elements (nodes).

  2nd: Assign an axis with the second priority

  3rd: Assign the remaining axis

  

• If Cylindrical Coordinate is selected as the Sorting Coordinate

  Rotating Axis: Select a rotating axis referring to the diagram.

  Global Axis: Axis of rotation in GCS (Default = Z)

  Axis Defined by 2 Points: Axis of rotation defined by a line connecting two points

  1st Point: 1st point of axis of rotation

  2nd Point: 2nd point of axis of rotation

  Polar Axis: Select a polar axis referring to the diagram.

  Global Axis: Select an axis in GCS as a polar axis (Default = Z).  

  Axis Defined by 2 Points: Polar axis defined by a line connecting two points

  1st Point: 1st point of axis of rotation

  2nd Point: 2nd point of axis of rotation

  Note
  When two points are connected to define an axis, the polar axis must be perpendicular to the axis of rotation. An error message prompts if not perpendicular.

  Sorting Preference: Select the order of sorting preference.

  1ST: First priority component (Default = Height)

  2ND: Next priority component (Default = Rotating Angle)

  3RD: Last priority component (Default = Radius)
