  • Show: If this option is checked, the 2D profile is shown on Working Window.

  • Name: The name of the 2D profile entity.

  • Particle Set: The parent particle set of particles the user wants to draw the profile.

  • Reference Frame: The parent body which is the reference frame during animation.

  • Property: It defines the property of 2D profile.

    • Position: Specifies a reference point of the defined xy plane.

    • Normal Direction: Specifies a normal direction of the defined xy plane.

    • Ref. Direction: Specifies a x-axis direction of the defined xy plane to determinate the sensing direction (y-axis direction).

    • Half Depth: Specifies a half depth of the defined xy plane.

    • Ref. Length: Specifies a length to Ref. Direction.

    • Divisions: Specifies a value to divide Ref. Length. So, divided points search the outermost particles.
