Define Platform Geometry Link

You can define the geometry of the platform by selecting the Define Platform geometry link to display the Define Platform Boundary form.

From the Shapes option gadget you can define geometry conforming to a basic shape template with user input or graphically populated sizes, the shape templates include;

• Rectangle

• L Shape

• Circle

• Free Form

• Polygon

Each of the shape templates can be toggled using the 'Origin:' toggle, this will move the shape template graphically from corner to corner, depending on the shape selected, and from the graphical previews you can select the appropriate origin of the Platform.

Where no geometry currently exists this is reflected in the form.

Where a Platform shape is asymmetric the form provides the capability to mirror the geometry in either the 'X' or 'Y' directions.

When the information is complete the Platform has not yet been created in the database as the information has been stored in the platform object, selecting the Define Platform Boundary link will take you back to the Create Platform form to pick and confirm the create platform link. This creates the Platform element in the database and writes the information contained in the form to the Platform attributes. The Create Platform form will update to inform you that the platform geometry has been defined and displays the overall X/Y size of the platform
