Name
- Name
- This field is used to name the offset. The system assigns an automatic name (i.e. Offset1, Offset2,...), but you can override this name.
Manikin
- Manikin:
This field indicates the name of the manikin owning the offset.
By selecting this field, you can switch manikins, that is, transfer the offset to a different manikin. The Segment field and the combo beside it (Right/Left) indicates the current segment that owns the offset being created/edited.
By selecting this field, you can also change the segment assignment of the offset, or transfer the offset to another segment.
Segment
- Segment
This selector changes the segment onto which the offset is placed during creation, or migrate to an already existing offset to the new segment at edition time. A segment on another manikin is also possible.
When selecting a new segment at creation, the compass goes to the currently active offset, and when selecting a new segment at edition, the compass moves to the same relative position it had before on the new segment as mirroring the offset according to the new segment's position.
Value
- Value
The frame displays the current location of the offset, in terms or translation (first row) and rotation (second row).
This frame also incorporates a Reset button, which repositions the offset back to the origin of the segment.
The Reverse Compass button reverses the Z direction of the compass.
Note: The Reverse Compass button reverses the current orientation of the compass. This feature is typically used when the geometry is manipulated in design mode where the compass goes inside the geometry when snapped to an object.
