Endcuts – The endcut that will be applied to the specified end of the faceplate.
Lengthen(+)/Shorten(-) – Allows you to lengthen or shorten the faceplate without having to modify the original extrusion
curve. Entering a positive value will lengthen the specified end by the entered amount and a negative value will shorten
the specified end by the entered amount.
Note: If only a portion of the original extrude curve was used to create the faceplate, the faceplate will be lengthened
along the original extrude curve. Once the end of the original extrude curve is reached the faceplate will be extended
in the direction of the specified end of the original extrude curve.
Green – The amount of stock to be added to the faceplate when nested. Green is applied after all trims and endcuts are
applied to the specified end of the faceplate.
Swap Ends – Swaps start and end values currently for Endcuts, Lengthen\Shorten, and Green.
Markline Style – The markline style that will be used for the faceplate markline when attaching the new faceplate to
plate parts.
Part Side – The side of the ship that the part will report that it is on
Show Start and End Symbols – specifies whether the S and E symbols will be shown at the start and ends of all stiffeners
and faceplates in the current drawing.
Preview – A preview of the faceplate stock and endcuts that will be used to create the new faceplate. The buttons below
the preview set pre-set views for the Profile, Top, and Side of the preview faceplate. Right clicking on the Preview will
bring up a menu allowing the selection of Profile, Start, End and Zoom to Extents views.
Position – Specifies the position of the faceplate relative to the position of the plate part it is attached to.

•
Flush with Side – The edge of the faceplate will be aligned with the specified edge of the plate part. The edge of both
the faceplate and the plate part will always match. For example, if Flush with Up Side is chosen, the top side of the
faceplate is aligned to be flush with the top side of the plate part.
•
User Defined – Allows the user to define the alignment of the faceplate manually.
•
Shift Direction – Specifies the direction of the user-defined alignment. This is only used when the User Defined option
