Assign Liners

If liners are added to a model, in general it will be necessary for the user to assign the desired liner properties and / or installation sequence (staging) to the liners. Default properties and staging are automatically assigned if the user takes no action.

There are multiple ways in which the assigning of liner properties and staging can be achieved:

1. When adding liners - when liners are initially added to a model using the Add Liner or Add End Liner options, you can select the Liner Property type and the Install / Remove stages in the dialog which appears before you add the liner to the model.
2. Assign Properties dialog - at any time after liners have been added to a model, you can use the Assign Properties dialog (available in the toolbar or the Properties menu) to assign liner properties and staging. See below for details.
3. Edit Liner - after liners have been added, you can use the Edit Liner option to edit liner properties or staging.
4. Sequence Designer - liner assignment is available in the Sequence Designer dialog.
5. Right-click shortcut - assigning properties can also be achieved with a convenient right-click shortcut. If you right-click directly on a liner (i.e. on a boundary segment which has had a liner applied), the popup menu will provide shortcuts to assign properties, and install / remove the liner at the currently selected stage. The right-click shortcut can only be used on one liner segment at a time.

Liners are assigned properties and staged in the same manner as bolts. See the Assign Bolts topic for further information. Note the following about liner selection.

Liner Selection

When you are selecting liners for assignment, you are actually selecting the boundaries (e.g. Excavation, Stage, Material or External) to which the liner has been applied. To make sure that you select all segments of a given liner, it is advisable to use a selection window, so that you do not accidentally miss portions of a liner when you are assigning properties and staging.
