Use of polylines

Polylines may be used for:

• Creating an area for grid loading
• Specifying a selection set

Selection sets may be formed by selecting entities within the current polyline.

Several sculpt commands require a polyline as input, including create grid loading.

Polylines can include voids. The void is defined by having an anticlockwise set of points around the outer perimeter which connect to a clockwise set of point to define a void before connecting back to the outer perimeter.

When in the Polyline cursor mode the properties of the polyline can be obtained using the Graphics > Selection properties command. Selection properties is also available on the Graphic view right-click menu when in the Polyline mode. The properties include the length, perimeter, area, and accumulated length.
