Add Spot Bolt

Rock bolts are added to a RocPlane model with the Add Bolt option.

To add a rock bolt:

1. Select Add Bolt from the toolbar or the Support menu.
2. Move the cursor into the Top, Front, or Perspective View.
   Notice that the cursor changes to an arrow / rockbolt icon. As you move the cursor over the wedge, notice that the rockbolt and arrow now line up. This indicates that you may add the bolt to the wedge.
3. Click at the point on the wedge where you want the bolt installed.
   The Add Spot Bolt dialog appears on the screen, which allows you to modify the bolt orientation and other properties.
   
4. Enter the desired bolt properties. See Add Spot Bolt Dialog below for details.
5. When the desired bolt properties have been entered, click OK.
6. If you are not happy with the location of the bolt, select Cancel to delete the bolt.
