[PP_ADDSUPPORTDATA]


Adds new support data model

Options:
- Name: unique name.
- Type: tension or suspension.
- Height: height of the model, above ground. It must be a positive value greater than 0.
- 3D model: System generated – based on the height and attachment points input a 3D polyline will be generated.
Custom value – model is imported from a file.
- Drawing (.dwg) file: a path to the .dwg file with the 3D model. Enabled only when “Custom value” is selected in the Solid dropdown list. More about 3D model properties in Appendix 3: 3D Models of Supports and Insulators.
- Plan symbol: System generated – a default symbol will be loaded. Custom value – symbol is loaded from a file.
- Drawing (.dwg) file: a path to the .dwg file with the 2D symbol. Enabled only when “Custom value” is selected in the Symbol dropdown list. More about 3D model properties in Appendix 3: 3D Models of Supports and Insulators.
- Attachment Points (For more details refer to Appendix 2: Attachment Points on Support): 

- Name: Attachment point unique (for this model) name. This value will be used in Add Conductor/Ground Wire and Edit Insulator commands. Recommended values are AP1(2, 3, …).
- Type: Tension – used for tension supports only, Central and Ground Wire. If Ground Wire is selected the attachment point will be used for ground wires.
- dX – offset from the center of the support in the direction of local X-axis.
- dY – offset from the center of the support in the direction of local Y-axis.
- dZ – offset from the top of the support.

- Button Add: Opens the dialog for adding an attachment point. When a tension support model is being created each tension attachment point will consist of two points. For example, if an attachment point is at point (0.5, 0.0, 1.5) its counterpart will be automatically added (-0.5, 0.0, 1.5). Note: only one point will be listed in the grid.
- Button Edit: Edits existing attachment point.
- Button Remove: removes selected attachment point (in the grid). If a tension attachment point type is selected both points will be removed.
