Placement Transform

Create transformations which transform arbitrary geometry from a source plane to placements on a curve in consideration of the placements’ properties

Input

Name	Type	Structure	Description
Axis	Axis Definition	List	Axis definitions containing necessary modeling information
Points	Text	List	Optional section point ids as target for the created transformations
Station	Number / Text / Axis Placement	List	Station values, placements or placement names for which transformations are created. E.g. “1.2”, “myPlcName*”
BasePln	Plane	Tree	Base plane as source plane of resulting transformations. Plane at branch { j } item i will be the source plane of resulting transformations targeting curve j, station i.
Scale	Boolean	Item	Scale transformed geometry according to placement’s rotation about local Z-axis
Vertical	Boolean	Item	If true, transformed geometry stays vertical ( Rotation around axial direction and non-vertical placement alignment is ignored )

Output

Name	Type	Structure	Description
PlcTra	Transformation	Tree	Resulting placement transformations as tree. Transformations in branch { j, k } correspond to curve j and station k. Transformation at list index i refers to point on curve or section point i
Planes	Plane	Tree	Planes representing the coordinate frames of associated transformations
