Select Copy
from the Edit
sub-menu of the Boundaries menu.
Copy Boundary is also available in the toolbar if you select the drop-list
arrow beside the Move Boundary toolbar button.
Phase2 Model > Boundaries > Editing Boundaries
The Copy Boundary option can be used to create a copy of Excavation, Material, Stage, Joint or Piezometric Line boundaries. You cannot create a copy of the External boundary, because only ONE External boundary can be defined for a Phase2 model.
Copy Boundary is available in the menu, toolbar, or as a right-click option for individual boundaries.
To use Copy Boundary:
Select Copy
from the Edit
sub-menu of the Boundaries menu.
Copy Boundary is also available in the toolbar if you select the drop-list
arrow beside the Move Boundary toolbar button.
Use the mouse to select the boundary(s) you would like to copy. NOTE: you may select multiple boundaries if desired.
When you are finished selecting, press Enter or right-click and select Done Selection.
You will then be prompted to enter a base point. Use the mouse or enter the x-y coordinates of the base point in the prompt line.
After the base point is entered, if you move the mouse, you will see an outline of your selected boundary(s) following the mouse. Enter a second point with the mouse or the keyboard, and the boundary(s) will be copied to the new location.
Tips
To define a relative distance for the copy, enter 0 , 0 as the base point in the prompt line, and the relative distance as the second point. For example, if you wanted a copy of an excavation 20 meters above and 30 meters to the right of the original excavation, enter 0 , 0 as the base point, and 20 , 30 as the second point.
If you do not know the relative distance, then you can enter a vertex of the original boundary as the base point, and the new coordinates of the equivalent vertex on the copied boundary, as the second point.
Right Click Shortcut
Copy Boundary is also available as a right-click option for individual boundaries. This works as follows:
Locate the cursor over a boundary that you wish to copy.
Click the RIGHT mouse button, and the boundary will be "selected".
A popup menu will appear, from which you can select the Copy Boundary option.
Select Copy Boundary and then complete steps 4 and 5 described above.
