*lineeditlength
Modifies the length of a free line.
Syntax
*lineeditlength id length derivative direction
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
This command is applied to a single free line to change its length. If a closed line is selected, one can only make its new length shorter. If the new length is chosen to be less than 1 tenth of the cleanup tolerance of the model, the line is deleted to avoid creating lines that are too short to be compatible with the model tolerance.
Inputs
- id
- The ID of the free line to edit.
- length
- The new length of the line.
- derivative
- This option is used only when the new length is longer than the current length of the line.
- direction
- 1 - The change is made at the end point of the line, considering 0.0 length as the start point of the line.
Example
Edit the length of line 1142, so that its new length is 80.0. If the line is made longer by this change, the extension is made only tangentially. The change is made at the start point of line:
*lineeditlength 1142 80.0 1 -1
