Understand the properties of holes in a stiffener

Property

Description

Designation

Defines the hole type and hole dimensions.

Reference

Provides reference information of the stiffener with which the hole is associated.

Distance from trace

Defines the distance of the hole from the stiffener trace.

Distance along profile

Defines the distance of the hole from the stiffener start or end point.

Rotation Angle

Specifies the angle of rotation applied to the hole relative to the stiffener.

A value of 0° aligns the hole's local U-axis with the stiffener trace tangent. A positive angle rotates the hole counterclockwise when viewed from the side onto which the hole is projected.

From Profile Start

Specifies whether the hole position is measured from the start of the stiffener.

When selected as true, the Distance along profile is measured from the stiffener start point; otherwise, it is measured from the end point.
