lineparallel - PLAXIS 2D Input commands documentation

lineparallel lipa

Creates a line parallel to another line.
Creates a line from a point (which may either exist, or will be created) parallel to an existing line with the same length.
lineparallel Point_3 Line_1 Creates a line from Point_3 parallel to Line_1 with the same length and direction as Line_1. If Line_1 is from (0, 0) to (3, 0), the new line starts at Point_3 (0, 1) and goes to a new point at (3, 1).

Creates a line from a point (which may either exist, or will be created) parallel to an existing line with a specified length.
lineparallel 0 1 Line_1 10 Creates a line from a new point with coordinates (0, 1) parallel to Line_1 with a length of 10. If Line_1 is from (0, 0) to (3, 0), the new line goes from (0, 1) to (10, 1).
