Keywords:
PPLINE DIRECTION X Y Z LEAVE
Description:
To orientate a structural element by referring its axes to the directions of one or more p-lines. By default, references will be taken from the Z (or LEAVE) direction.
Example:
ORI Y IS PPLIN TOS OF /SCTN1 X DIR AND Z IS U
Orientates the current element such that its Y axis points in the X direction of the TOS p-line of /SCTN1 and its Z axis points Up. If, for example, the X direction of the TOS p-line of /SCTN1 points East, then this command line is equivalent to ORI Y IS E AND Z IS U.
