Move Point Freehand (Section View)

(This functionality is available with the Profiles and Design module)

Allows section points in long and cross sections to be moved dynamically using the mouse.

This function can be accessed from both the long and cross section views Profiles Task / Edit / Move Point / Freehand.

On selecting this function the cursor changes to the move cursor. Snap to and accept the point you want to move, this will dynamically show the section surface as a rubber band. To move the point on to another point, snap to and accept the point you want to move it to. To move the point to an arbitrary location press the accept button without snapping.

Points can be moved that have vertical parabolas attached to them. If there is room to maintain the geometry of the vertical curves the point will be moved. If there is insufficient room to maintain the vertical curves a dialog box will appear asking for confirmation to move the point and delete the curves. If you answer No the point will be restored to its original position.

To cancel the Move Point Freehand function either press the ESC key or select another function.
