Activates the Ladder Properties Dialog. You can use this dialog to specify additional ladder properties, such as material and material grade, which you cannot set on the ribbon.
Select Top Edge
Select the reference plane or edge that defines the top elevation of the ladder. The ladder is placed on the To Do List if this edge is deleted after the ladder has been placed. You can select:
-
A Smart 3D object.
-
The edge or surface of a Smart 3D object.
-
The edge or surface of a Smart Interop Object.
Select Bottom Plane
Select the reference plane that defines the bottom elevation of the ladder. This plane must be lower than the top edge that you selected. The reference plane can be flat or sloped up to 45 degrees. The ladder is placed on the To Do List if this plane is deleted after the ladder has been placed.
Select Reference Edge
Select a plane or edge from which to place the ladder along the top edge. This input is optional. You can select:
-
A Smart 3D object.
-
The edge or surface of a Smart 3D object.
-
The edge or surface of a Smart Interop Object.
Select Position
Graphically define the location of the ladder along the selected top edge.
Finish
Places the ladder in the model.
System
Select the system to which the ladder belongs using the Select System Dialog.
Type
Select the type of ladder to place.
Name
Specify the name for the ladder that you are placing.
Width
Specifies the inside width of the ladder rungs. This dimension does not include the width of the side frames or safety hoop and therefore is less than the overall width of the ladder.
Angle
Specifies the angle of inclination between the bottom support and the side frame of the ladder. This angle is the slope of the ladder.
The default angle is 90 degrees.
Pitch
Specifies the maximum allowable vertical distance between the ladder rungs.
Horizontal Offset
Specifies the distance the ladder is placed from the selected reference edge along the specified top edge.
Vertical Offset
Specifies the offset between the top of the ladder and the selected top edge. This distance is in addition to the defined Top Extension distance.
Side
Places the ladder on the opposite side of the top edge.
