You can use the Mesh Type button to select a defined mesh from the list box.

All the meshes defined in the Cross-Section Catalogs are presented.

You can specify whether the display/calculation of the meshes at the placing area boundary is cut or not.

Click Not Flush or Flush to set the placing end: This causes the switch to be applied immediately:

• when appears on the button, the area is covered with entire meshes
• when appears on the button, meshes are placed right up to and flush with the boundary. Any mesh sections that protrude beyond the boundary are cut.

Note: This button is only available when Reinforce with 3D model is not active. If you are working in Reinforce with 3D model mode, number off management is automatic. In this case, this parameter does not need to be modified by the user.

When the button is set to +, the number off information for meshes that have already been placed increases by one with every additional mesh that you place.

If you merely want to display a mesh that has already been placed in a different view, you can lock this counting feature temporarily.

Click + or - to block or reactivate the counting function:

• + means that the function continues counting
• - means that the function stops counting (i.e. off)

You can query the length and width of individual meshes within the current placing area.

Click the desired mesh in the workspace.

The mesh is displayed in the selection color and its dimensions are displayed in the dialog line.

Note: If you have configured the program to display meshes as a group, the dimensions of the individual meshes will not be output. Rather, the dimensions of the entire group will be displayed.
