Weld Reverse Path |
When a Structural Weld (STWELD) element is selected on the Connection Review window, an arrow indicates the path direction of the weld in the 3D view. Refer to Review Connections for further information.
Select True from the drop-down list to reverse the path direction of the weld. The default value is False. The route path elements of the weld are not modified when this setting is changed, this could cause conflicts with weld rules. Instead, when the setting is on, the P-Points and P-directions of the weld are reversed, querying P-Point 1 will find the position of the last weld vertex instead of the first. |
