Position and Direction

The position and origin of the ladder is located at the bottom of the ladder midway between the ladder rungs and has pseudo attributes defining the position of the lower and upper work points.

Position

The Lower Work Points and Upper Work Points links will activate the Positioning Control mechanism allowing you to set the position with respect to any elements in the Design Db and the positioning control task panel supports both the plant and ship grid (XYZ, ENU and Marine) co-ordinate system. The Plane option also provides the ability to identify a plane onto which the Upper work Point will be projected which is determined by the pitch of the Ladder. The default direction or the Ladder is north though this can be changed by you.

Direction

The default direction of the ladder is set to north which can be modified by you to rotate the ladder around its vertical axis.
