Place a UCS at a Curved Beam

This tool places an object coordinate system at any point of a curved beam (Z-axis follows the radial line).

The additional point does not need to lie on the beam. Thus, a UCS can be set on a curved beam at the exact location of an approaching beam for constructing a connection at this location.

To access the command

UCS tool palette: (UCS at curved beam).

Command line: _eAstM5CommEcsAtPickPoint

To define a UCS at a curved beam

  1. UCS tool palette: Click (UCS at curved beam).
  2. Select the desired point on the curved beam.
  3. Select an additional insertion point for the position of the coordinate system or press <Enter>.
