Edit Extents

Edit Strip Extents

Use the Edit Extents option to modify the extents of an individual strip object on the current section. Although not essential, it is recommended that you perform this operation in Section view (refer to the View Current Section option).

Overlapping strips, or strips with gaps between them, are not allowed. In some situations, you may need to edit more than one strip object in order to avoid this.

Instructions

On the Dragline menu, point to Strips, and then click Edit Extents.

Select the strip that you want to modify.

If a Dragline specifications file (.rsp) was not opened prior to selecting this option, then the Open Dragline Specification panel displays first.
