Name

Name
This field uses the name the offset. The system assigns an automatic name (that is Offset1, Offset2,...) but you can override this name.

Manikin

Manikin:

This field indicates the name of the manikin owning the offset.

By selecting this field, you can switch manikins, that is, transfer the offset to a different manikin. The Segment field and the combination next to it (Right/Left) indicates the current segment that owns the offset that creates or edits.

By selecting this field, you can also change the segment assignment of the offset, or transfer the offset to another segment.

Segment

Segment

This selector changes the segment onto which the offset places during creation, or migrate to an already existing offset to the new segment at editing time. A segment on another manikin is also possible.

When selecting a new segment at creation, the Robot goes to the active offset. Selecting a new segment at editing, the Robot moves to the same relative position it had before on the new segment. This mirrors the offset according to the new manikins segment position.

Activate

Activate
This allows you to select the activation and deactivation of the offset.

Value

Value

The frame displays the current location of the offset, in terms or translation (first row) and rotation (second row).

This frame also incorporates a Reset, which repositions the offset back to the origin of the segment.

The Reverse Robot reverses the Z direction of the Robot.

Note: The Reverse Robot overseas the current orientation of the Robot. Use when the geometry manipulates in design mode where the Robot goes inside the geometry when snapped to an object.
