Reverse Line Axis

 

 

Reverse the start point and the end point of a Line (Select a curve in Model > Object Information to check the start and end points).

The calculation (temporary) reinforcing structural member forces in Slope Stability (LEM) Analysis is affected by the directions of the Line(s). The axis of a Line needs to be reversed if its direction is opposite to the that of insertion (When the Structural Properties of the reinforcing member (LEM) is assigned to a Line, a label is displayed at the start point. If the location of the start point is reversed, Reverse Line Axis can be used).  

Nail (LEM), Anchor (LEM) and Strip (LEM) need to be oriented in the direction from the start point to the end point which represents the direction of insertion.  In the case of Strut (LEM), the start point needs to be set at the intersection of the strut and the slope, exerting compression onto the inner side of the slope.
