Concerning the choice of the type of strafing Stone Combination we can intervene on some parameters, but especially choose stone sizes with different gaps along the curve. These values are shown in a table.

The positioning of the stones can be calculated on the total length of the curve or on a fixed custom length. The user can also play with the positioning of the first and/or the last stone in relation to the ends of the curve.

This combination can be done on an open or closed geometry.

Set the parameters and press to add a new line to the table corresponding to the placement of a stone.

If you wish to modify one of the values of a line already inserted, click in the box to the left of the line number and then modify the boxes either by numerical values or by means of the drop-down menus. As long as the symbol The symbol at the beginning of the line indicates that the modified value is not yet taken into account. To remove this symbol, simply click in another cell of the table.

To insert a stone between the lines already present, simply select the line and click on .

If this combination of diameters is to be reused on other assemblies, you can the table (xml format). This file can be recalled () following a series of stones that you add.

If a stone is to be deleted, simply click on the corresponding line and press .


Check the box Housing is used to generate the machining functions in the component.

For each stone diameter, a specific color is assigned. This allows you to have an overview of the set thus created. It is possible, however, to work with the color of the stone material, in this case you must check the option Color of the Material. A name for the crimp can be specified Name of the Macro.


 


For each setting, a folder, grouping the stones, is thus created in the construction tree. The name of the stones includes the name, the diameter and the material.

In the component impacted by the crimping, we find a function by crimping (not editable) generating the machinings for the stones housings.
