Sets options for modifying a straight segment of an existing path. This ribbon appears when you select a straight segment in the existing path.

 Properties

Displays the Sketch Properties dialog, in which you can view properties for the path.

Finish

Displays the path in the active view and returns control to the Place Handrail or Place Slab command.

Cancel

Cancels the path placement, closes the ribbon, and returns control the activating command.

 Show Cross Section View

Opens a new graphics window that is oriented normal to the sketch plane.

Edit

Allows you to modify and move the existing path. You can select the segment, turn, or multiple segments to which you want to make modifications.

Create

Displays the Create Path ribbon bar to allow you to add segments to an existing path. You cannot add segments to slab boundary paths.

 First Point

Specifies that you are selecting the starting location of the move vector.

 Second Point

Specifies that you are selecting the ending location of the move vector.

 Insert Vertex

Allows you to add a vertex to the selected straight segment. After you define the location of the vertex along the segment, click Finish to insert the vertex. After the vertex has been inserted, you can move that vertex to edit the segment path. You cannot insert a vertex on arc path segments.

Path Type

Specifies the type of line for the current segment in the path. To change the segment type, click a new type in the Path Type list. You can select from the following line types:

 Line

Defines the line type for the segment to be a straight line.

 Arc by 3 Points

Defines the line type for the segment to be an arc. To define the arc, you must click three points in the view.

 No Line

This option is not available for handrails or slabs.

 Arc by End Points

Defines the line type for the segment to be an arc that you defined by the arc's end points. To define the arc, you must define the arc's two end points and then a point along the arc.

 Elliptical Arc

Defines the line type for the segment to be an elliptical arc

Plane

Activates options for selecting a working plane for the path. This option is disabled if you are editing a path for a slab boundary. Six options are available:

 Plan Plane

Defines the work surface as the XY plane at the depth of the active end. You also can press 1 to select this option.

 Elevation Plane: East-West

Defines the work surface as the XZ plane. You also can press 2 to select this option.

 Elevation Plane: North-South

Defines the work surface as the YZ plane. You also can press 3 to select this option.

 Plane by Turn

Defines the work surface as the plane defined by an existing turn. You select the turn to set the plane. You also can press 4 to select this option.

 Plane by Three Points

Defines the work surface using three points that you define. You also can press 5 to select this option.

 No Plane

Clears any work surfaces. The software does not project points that you place to any plane. You also can press 6 to select this option.

Delete CLASSIC ICON Delete Selected Items

Deletes the selected path segments.

 Length Locked

Defines whether or not the length of the selected segment should remain constant while moving.

When locked , the software automatically modifies the turn points, along with the length and angle of adjacent segment, to remain connected to the moved segment. The length of the moved segment does not change.

When not locked , the software extends or shortens the associated segments to connect with the new position of the moved segment. The length of the moved segment can change.
