Controls

The following controls are available:

Control Description
Name Type the name to assign to the created object or click Next auto incremented name to use the next available auto incremented name.
From Input the vertex from which the following Bearing starts.
Bearing Input the bearing along which the computed vertex is to lie.
From Input the vertex from which the following Bearing starts.
Bearing Input the bearing along which the computed vertex is to lie.
Height Method Select one of the following methods to input a height for the vertex:
Reverse if no solution Do one of the following:
  • Select the checkbox to consider the reverse bearings if a solution cannot be found.
  • Clear the checkbox to only consider the input bearings when determining a solution.
Notes
  • Configure the Bearing Type in Unit Options.
  • The reference vertex is the one selected in the first From control.
  • If the From control is clear when you pick an existing line to input the bearing value, the start vertex of the picked line segment will be automatically input to the From control.
