Create a Rectangular-Shaped Platform

The procedure for creating any of the rectangular-shaped platforms is much the same, since only the layout of the handrails and kickplates differs between the different types; for example:

The only data that is not taken from the defaults file is that which defines the position and dimensions of the platform. The user can specify such data in either of two ways:

• Explicitly, by entering the length/width dimensions, orientation and origin coordinates.

• Implicitly, by using the cursor to pick four design steelwork elements upon which the platform is to be placed and which will define its boundaries.
