Notes: Top panel length cannot be negative and zero in any case.
If pection
Row is zero, then input zero under the length column for the same row.
"Default
T"- If tester check constant slope then STXT creates the tapered tower geometry by
default otherwise the top section will be a straight section. "S" - Straight
"T" - Tapered
Tester shall verify the top face width, bottom face width and face
inclination (please if face inclination value is matching for all the panels upto 6
decimal places, pass it)
The above calculation of face inclination is applicable to 3-leg towers
only.
