Centre Distances - Overrides the default centre distances for this item and cause a recalculation of numbers for this item.
Fixed Quantites - Overrides the calculation altogether and use this number for the number of the item.
Slope Factor - The effective area or length will be increased taking into account the slope ratio entered here. For the formula used see the Slope Reference page.
