Mini-CAD: Reference staff

In addition to the reference staffs used by some of the GGU programs you can also have further vertical reference lines represented, e.g. if you have a number of sections at differing heights or you need to use this function to generate horizontal or otherwise oriented scale bars. Click on the "Reference staff" button and enter the required values into the subsequent dialog box.

If you then draw a line, the program creates a reference staff from this, which always begins and ends with a complete length unit. The "With original heights" check box is always activated by default for vertical reference staffs. The actual section heights of the started GGU program (e.g. GGU-STRATIG) are then used for the reference staff.

If you need a section-independent, vertical reference staff, you can deactivate this check box and define a start point for the staff by using the "Offset [m]" function. If "User-defined" or "Horizontal" are selected from the staff type list, the check box is automatically inactive and you can work with the offset.
