Insertion Point

Assigns frame object insertion point data. The assignments include the cardinal point and end joint offsets.

Execute: Executes the operation.

CSI Model: CSI Safe model attached to Grasshopper.

Units: Units used to define the insertion point.

Object Name: Name of frame objects or group name in SAFE that the insertion point will be assigned.

Cardinal Point: This is a numeric value from 1 to 11 that specifies the cardinal point for the frame object. The cardinal point specifies the relative position of the frame section on the line representing the frame object.

Mirror 2: If this item is True, the frame object section is assumed to be mirrored (flipped) about its local 2-axis.

Transform Frame Stiffness: If this item is True, the frame object stiffness is transformed for cardinal point and joint offsets from the frame section centroid.

Offset i End: O-i: This is a list of three joint offset distances, in the coordinate directions specified by Coordinate System input parameter, at the i end of the frame object.

Offset j End: O-j: This is a list of three joint offset distances, in the coordinate directions specified by Coordinate System input parameter, at the j end of the frame object.

Coordinate System: This is Local or the name of a defined coordinate system. It is the coordinate system in which the Offset i end and Offset j end items are specified.

Item Type: If this item is Object, the assignment is made to the frame object specified by the Object Name input parameter. If this item is Group, the assignment is made to all frame objects in the group specified by the Object Name input parameter. If this item is SelectedObjects, assignment is made to all selected frame objects, and the Object Name input parameter is ignored.
