Thrustline Settings Window

General

Used to apply general settings for thrustlines; for example, line color

• Material: The material for the thrustlines. There are also three thrustline 'templates' to choose from (Small, Medium and Large)

• Create: Opens the Material Properties window

• Color: Choose a line color from the color selector

• Always on top: Thrustlines are displayed on top of the scene objects

Geometry

Used to select geometry settings for thrustlines

Subsegments: The number of segments that comprise the thrustline

Part Order

A thrustline is a line which passes through many objects, and each thrustline has its own draw order, (Part Order)

• Calculated: The thrustline uses a special algorithm which defines the draw order based on an object's spatial disposition

• Selection: The draw order is based on the selection order; that is, first object selected, second object selected

Principle Axis

For each thrustline, there is an axis/direction called 'principle direction'. It indicates the primary direction of the thrustline. All line segments within a thrustline share the same principle direction.

• Auto: The position of the thrustline is automatically chosen on creation

• First Selected Part: The position of the thrustline is based on the first selected object
