24.3.1. Modeling Options

The user can create three types of sheet. One is a straight type and the other is a folding type.

Point, Point WithDialog: This method is to create a straight sheet.
- Point: Selects a point to define a start point of the sheet.
- Point: Selects a point to define a direction of the sheet.
- WithDialog: Modifies the property for the sheet. The sheet is created with clicking OK.

MulitPoint, WithDialog: This method is to create a folding sheet. The folding sheet has a restoration force to the original straight state as shown in Figure 24.18.
- MultiPoint: Selects points to define a series of direction points sequentially. In this case, the Rotational Spring Damper (RSD) at folding points has a free angle and its value is automatically calculated.
- WithDialog: Modifies the property for the sheet. The sheet is created with clicking OK.

Curve, WithDialog, WithDialog: This method is to create a curled sheet.
- Curve: Selects a curve geometry that is created by Outline Curve or Spline Curve or imported.
- WithDialog: Shows the list of the several candidates to the point list to create a sheet in Point List Candidates dialog box. The data shown cannot be modified. The preview is supported by clicking a cell in the dialog. The selected list is applied by clicking OK.

  - Number of the Segments: Displays the number of the segments to the sheet.
  - Segment Length: Displays the length of each segment to the sheet.
  - Tolerance: Displays the absolute value to the difference between the last point of the curve and the last point of the sheet.
