Direction and Location

The application assumes that the Stair Tower direction is constrained to a rotation about the vertical axis for example N45E, W13S and the application will not allow the user to set a non vertical direction, in that event the application will issue an error message before resetting the format back to the default direction.

The Pick Position link will activate the Positioning Control mechanism allowing you to set the position with respect to any elements in the Design Database.

The positioning control task panel supports both the plant and ship grid (XYZ, ENU and Marine) co-ordinate system where the default position of the Stair Tower is positioning at the base elevation in the geometrical centre of the Stair Tower as indicated by the axes indicator. The default direction or the Stair Tower is north though this can be changed by you.
