      Element relDepthStart

relDepthStart defines the forward location of the beginning of the rib set. 0 equals the forward end of the pylon box, while 1 equals the rear end of the pylon box.

      Element relDepthEnd

relDepthEnd defines the rear end. 0 equals the forward end of the pylon box, while 1 equals the rear end of the pylon box.

      Element ribRotation[0, 1]

Ribs can be rotated in the side view. The defaults to 90°, which equals an orientation along the pylons z-axis. The angle is meassured around the positive y-direction of the pylon.

            Element spacing

The spacing of the ribs defines the distance between two ribs, measured along the pylons x-axis. First rib is placed at relDepthStart.

      Element ribCrossingBehaviour
