Syntax

block joint-plane b <keyword>

Primary keywords:

delete    tolerance    new

Toggle calculations for plotting joint planes. This setting controls the calculation of data structures used for plotting joint planes. The data structure takes time to calculate and uses a lot of memory. Eliminating this calculation affects plotting only; it does not affect any mechanical calculations.

delete

Delete existing joint-plane data structures.

tolerance f

Set tolerance for merging nodes. If nodes are closer together than f, they will be merged. The default is 0.1 times the block tolerance (block tolerance).

new b

Toggle use of new joint plotting algorithm. Default is \(on\).
