- Choose a built-in profile, project Profile Manager section or saved library object.
- Define the run and control spacing, count, orientation and end fitting.
- Use the wave settings to shape the available sheet-based alternative.
Section source and captured geometryChoose the source before setting out the run.
Use a starting profile, a section from Profile Manager or a saved library object. The available capture actions can use prepared section or path geometry from the project.
A capture stores a snapshot. Later source edits do not automatically regenerate it. Use Refresh selected linked path snapshot to reread a captured path from its remembered source, or use the replacement actions to choose a different path, profile or source object.
When capturing a placed library object, Repeating Profile retains its library-part identity, Width, Depth, Height and orientation. Other source-object parameters use that library part’s defaults, so customised materials or other instance settings are not copied automatically.
Path and distributionChoose which spacing rule should control the arrangement.
Define the run length or use a captured path. Spacing, centre pitch, maximum pitch and member count provide different ways to control the distribution.
Use the margins, end-fitting, orientation and rotation settings to refine how the repeated members begin, end and follow the path.
Wave form and drawing appearanceAdjust the wave separately from the distribution of individual members.
Amplitude controls the wave height, crest spacing controls the distance between repeating peaks, and phase shifts the pattern along its run. Stored variation provides repeatable differences in the wave.
Normal thickness and panel width define the sheet treatment where applicable. The result remains one parent object. Plan and detail settings control how it is represented in drawings.
