Old Rules Appearing in Profile

Tim Pointer — Fri, 23 Nov 2018 17:25:17 GMT

I have been updating some profiles which were orginally generated using the Profile by Slope form Element tool. The original plan elements have been joined together to form complex geometry before the old vertical alignment associated with the individual elements was deleted. Thus there are areas where the old profile appears, see the green dashed lines circeled in red in the screenshot. I cannot delete the old profiles because ORD thinks that no elements are selected. This is also the case if I use Drop Element or Drop Complex Status. The only way that I have been able to delete the old vertical profiles is to drop the new complex plan geometry and deleting vertical profiles associated with the individual plan elements. This is a time consuming process!

Is there a way to get rid of the old vertical geometry associated with the components that have been used to make the new plan complex geometry?

OpenRoads Profile Annotation

Tim Pointer — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 13:15:18 GMT

I have set up a profile annotation group and all of the supporting Element Templates in a dgnlib. I have used the Element Templates to set the level for each annotation entity however, when I apply the annotation group to another file, all of the annotation appears on the Default Level. Why is this?

Spot Level Cell for Terrain Model

Tim Pointer — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 19:10:30 GMT

I would like to create a civil cell that can be used to report the elevation of any point on a terrain model. I would like the cell to update when the terrain model is updated. Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?

Using Item Types with Linear Templates

Tim Pointer — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 16:29:51 GMT

I want to be able to apply an Item Type that describes some non-graphical properties of a linear item (eg a kerb) to a Linear Template in the template library. This is because I want the Item Type to be automatically applied when the Linear Template is used, rather than using the Linear Template and then manually adding the Item Type afterwards. Is this possible?

Project 3D Mesh to Profile View

Tim Pointer — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 16:40:00 GMT

I have been provided with a survey model made of Meshes and BSpline Surfaces. I want to be able to display these in the Profile view of my alignment using the Create3D Cut tool, or similar. How do I do this without creating a separate terrain model based on the data that I have been provided with?

I can't access the Text Favourites Manager

Tim Pointer — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 18:25:26 GMT

I have lost the text favourites for some plan annotation so my annotation no longer reports the station/bearing/etc. This appears to have happened when associating the model file with a new workspace and workset that doesn't have these text favourites in a dgnlib. I would like to import the Text Favourites from the previous dgnlib however I cannot access the Text Favourites Manager through the Place Text tool, why is this?

OpenRoads Profile Annotation

Tim Pointer — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 13:12:21 GMT

I would like to insert a text break into the title box annotation for each row of my profile grid. How do I do this without doing it manually after the profile is annotated?
