Symmetry

Restrains the selected edge from moving along the in-plane normal direction to the edge. This option is similar to the Roller/Slider options.

Use Reference Geometry

Use a reference geometry to apply restraints. The reference can be a face or plane parallel to the section plane, or axis, or to an edge. The table shows the translations and rotations not applicable along certain directions.
