Editing a Planning Break

This task explains editing of a planning break.
Editing planning breaks adds offsets that increase the structural strength of the ship assembly. Two kinds of planning breaks are managed by this application. As a result you may see a point or a curve in the display.
  • A profile planning break results from an intersection between the face of a functional volume and the trace of a profile. The result is a geometrical point, seen as an X.
  • A plate planning break results from the intersection between the face of a functional volume and the molded surface of a plate. The result is a geometrical curve.

 

 

 

 

1. With your document open, enter the Objects workbench. Right click on the planning break and select XXXObject - Definition in the drop down menu. The Planning Break dialog box opens with the following information:
  • The functional object the planning break belongs to;
  • The list of functional volumes the planning break was generated from. This cannot be edited;
  • The offset value. The manipulator (the green arrow in the image) will move by the value entered in the Offset field.

  2. Enter a value in the Offset field and click OK. The offset you entered will be applied to the planning break. You can select more than one functional volume to edit.

  3. Click OK to accept or Cancel to exit the command.
