Explanation 

Assign Point Library in the Base mode

Assign the Point Library to the Constraint (Array) Point in the Base mode.

[Select Point Library] : Select the Point Library to assign.

[Define Location]
• By Point : Select one point to assign a Point Library to that location.

- Directly placing the object: Click the coordinate button and place the object directly.

- Placing by entering coordinates : Place the object by entering the coordinates of the location.

• By Select
: Select a Vertex to assign a Point Library to that location.

• By Coordinates Table
: Enter the coordinates of multiple assignment points to assign a Point Library to those locations.
- A method of entering multiple allocation points based on a Coordinate Table.
Since it is based on a table, the user can enter all the values at once by copying and pasting the data from Excel.

[Local Axis] : Enter the UCS coordinate system to change the assignment direction of the Point Library.

Enter the three unit vectors that define the CS coordinate system to change the assignment direction of the Point Library.

The GCS coordinate system on the left has unit vectors (1, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1), (0, 0, 1) for each X, Y and Z direction.

To change to the UCS coordinate system on the right, set the X’, Y’, Z’ direction to unit vectors (0, -1, 0), (1, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1).

In this case, the selected point is used as a reference to be inverted and assigned to the Assembly Unit.

[Preview Level] : Sets the style of the Preview that shows when assigning.

[Structure Matching]
: Sets whether to match the Point Library Structure on the Assembly Unit Structure.

• Off : Does not match the Library Structure data.

• On : Matches the Library Structure data.

• Library Structure
: The top level item of Point Library Structure data that matches the Base Mode Structure data is output.

• Base Mode Structure Table 
- The table shows the Structure data defined by the Structure feature of the Base Mode.
- Select the Structure data from the Table to match the Point Library Structure data.

[Quantity based on Library]
: Set whether to calculate quantity in Point Library units.

• Off : Quantity is not calculated.

• On : Quantity is calculated in library units.

• Material Type 
: Select the material type for construction settings.
When selecting a material type, you can set the Sub Material Type and Field.
Library unit quantity calculation is provided only in User Defined form.

- None : Do not set the Material Type.
- User Defined : Set the user-defined Material Type.

• Sub Material Type 
: Set the Sub Material Type under the Material Type.
When you select a Sub Material Type, the registered Field table appears..

• [Field]
: Set the Field item.
- Name : Set the field name of the object.
-  Item List : Set items (Field Items) according to the object’s field type.
Template setting conditions for calculating library unit quantity.
