CHAPTER 11 'FORMWORK' 31 Line - Continuous Line: to draw continuous lines using the same process as described above, except that the resulting polygonal line is a single entity (pline) that you can edit as a whole as a single entity. To "break" the Continuous Line into its constituent parts, use the "Explode" command from the "Interventions" command list. Remarks : 1. The type of line to be drawn with the line drawing commands is specified with the "Parameters - Lines" command (continuous, focused, etc.). 2. When drawing "Line >> Section" and "Line >> Sections", you can differentiate the Line type from the parameters, so that you get, for example, a broken line consisting of sections of different types. This does NOT apply to the "plines" drawing which will obey the original default line type. Double Line - Department/Sections/Continuous Line: to draw double lines in exactly the same way as described in the command "PLANNING>> Lines" (Department, Sections or Continuous Lines). THE "DESIGN >> Double Line" can be used to insert into your design, lines representing beams. After activating the command, a dialog box opens in which you will specify the parameters of the double line which are : Thickness : Enter the distance between the two lines, in centimetres. Alignment : You specify which of the two lines, or their axis, the double line will be drawn. The type of lines is also specified here with the command "Parameters - Lines" (see remark in the previous paragraph). Remark : During the drawing of the double line and until you press the right mouse button to complete the insertion, a single line is drawn on our screen, the one you have specified as an alignment in the dialog box that opens when the command is activated. Arc: to draw arcs in 4 alternative ways, depending on the data you have available for entering them.
