Hi, I am looking for a way to create a subhorizontal section. Meaning a layout view at consistent offset of the alignment rather than a horizontal view from up above.
As seen in the figure below. This would ensure to have a view including true length blocks instead of projection lengths.
I think the "Civil Plan" command for creating boundaries is a simple layout view and not a subhorizontal section. Is this assumption right?
And if so, is there a way to create the needed section?
Thanks for any answer!
Hi,
You can create such sections with 2 methods:
1. Use the default Microstation tools to generate drawings and control the callout position and geometry
2. Use the Civil Plan named boundary option to create the initial drawing; after that move the named boundary on the elevation that you want (the elevation of the cut); if necessary, rotate the named boundary to follow the slope of the profile
- select the named boundary from the 3d model and change the values of the clip; put something like 10cm for the depths so that you can create a cut through the solid; if you have big value in the depths, you will see the entire solid and not the cut at a given elevation
