9.4: Input Dihedral Angle

Click the folder button 'Dihedral'. To change the active segments dihedral use the input field 'Dihedral angle [°]'. Enter the desired dihedral in degree. The centre of rotation is on the leading edge at the segment edge showing to the wing centre.
Near the input field are Up/Down-buttons located. They can be used to change the dihedral with mouse clicks.
A click on the right mouse button pops up a menu to set the increment between 0.00001° and 1°.



The picture below illustrates this function. Segments 0 and 5 (the tip segments) have a dihedral of 90°, the segments 1 and 4 have 0° and the segments 2 and 3 in centre of wing have a dihedral of 20°.



With a little fantasy you might create crazy constructions, see below.
