Coordinate system |
Select whether the concrete cover thickness of the rebar sets in the part is defined in the global coordinate system, or in the part's local coordinate system. The default global and local cover thickness values are defined in the Options dialog box. If you select the empty option, Tekla Structures uses the global values. |
