Geometry toolbar

Menu: Geometry.Geometry toolbar

Description

Using the buttons on this secondary toolbar, the current helix (this is the one containing the current object) can be oriented in a given direction. The toolbar can be selected using the "Geometry.Geometry toolbar" menu, or the "Geometry toolbar" button on the Main toolbar

Entries

The 'Angle' entry determines the new angle. The angle is 0 for a horizontal helix that is oriented to the right. The buttons labeled with an arrow pointing e, ne, n, nw, w, sw, s and se will point the helix to that direction. If other objects than the helix are selected (eg. the tree enclosed by the helix segments) these will be rotated by the same amount as necessary to orient the current helix in the given direction.
