Displays the options that you use to place a straking seam in the model.
Seam by Intersection Properties
Opens the Seam By Properties Dialog, which you use to view and modify the properties of the seam that you are about to place in the model.
Plate Part
Specifies the plate parts to split. You can select multiple plate parts to place multiple straking seams at the same time. The software uses the same boundaries for each seam. After placement, the seams are unrelated to each other and can be edited as individual entities.
Intersecting Objects
Specifies the objects that intersect the plate system for which to generate seams.
Define Boundaries
Defines the boundaries of the seam. You can define the boundaries by selecting objects in the model. If you select objects in the model, and those objects are moved, the software automatically resizes the seam to maintain the boundary relationship. See the Define Boundary controls described below.
Finish
Creates the seam using the defined parameters.
Cancel
Clears all selected plates or boundaries.
Accept
Accepts all selected plates or boundaries.
Define Boundary Controls
Pick Boundaries
Selects objects in the model or in the Workspace Explorer to define the boundaries. This option is only available when you are defining the boundaries.
Solve Ambiguity
If the objects that you selected in the model for the boundary define an ambiguous solution, then the software prompts you to select one bounded section to clarify the needed boundary. This ambiguity only occurs if one of the boundaries, such as the hull, wraps around both sides of object. Move the cursor over a bounded section, and then click to select.
Boundary List
Opens the Boundary List Dialog, which allows you to review and define the boundaries.
