Block Seams

A special component found only in a Design Panel is the Block Seam. The Block Seams represents the division of the Design Panel into Production Panels. They are created either before or in the process of Block Division used to populate the Production View from the Design View. See chapter Block Division for a description of the Block Divide process.

When modifying a Block Seam on a Design Panel having connected Production Panels, some restrictions apply compared to modifying an ordinary seam.

• The Block Seam must not be moved beyond another Block Seam.

• The number of intersections between the Block Seam to modify and other Block Seams must be preserved. No existing intersections may disappear, and no new intersections may appear after the modification. The location of the intersections may of course move.

• Deleting a Block Seam can only be done by the function Remove Seam. The affected Production Panels are then automatically merged two and two.
