If X, Y or Z are chosen to define the plane, the following lower part will appear:

Description of the Fields:
|
Coordinate value: |
A value to define the plane. The value have to be on the form: [<prefix>]<start>[([<step>])<end>] [+-<offset>] where <prefix> is valid if frame or longitudinal terms are used. <start>, <step>, <end> and <offset> are numerical values. Decimal numbers are allowed. Note: that the number of values derived from an expression like this has to equal the number of names derived from the curve name field. Example of valid values are: 2700 360(720)3960 FR25()28 LP1.5(0.5)3.0 FR52(2)60+375 |

Update table: |
Optionally, the frame, waterline and buttock tables can be updated. However, this requires that the curve name(s) consists of the frame, waterline or buttock group name, depending on the axis chosen, and an integer number. Furthermore, the default limits have to be used. |
