Question:
How can I quickly transfer a modified value to the other rows in the input table of an add-on module?
Answer:
In addition to the standard functions, all input tables in the program have block functions. They allow you to edit marked numbers and number fields in the table in one step.
You can access the block functions by right-clicking in the table:
1. Add - A value is added to or subtracted from the selected cells with a numerical value.
2. Multiply - Cells with a numerical value are multiplied by a factor.
3. Divide - Cells with a numerical value are divided by a divisor.
4. Set - The value of the first selected cell is set to all cells in the selection.
5. Generate - Cells between the first and the last rows selected are generated by the interpolation of both edge values.
The "Set" function allows you to quickly transfer a value to other rows.
These functions are an ideal tool for changing the existing node coordinates to a new geometry, for linear extrapolation of unit load entries to any value, for unifying the values, and much more.
