I am trying to create a Civil Tools standard for each geologic layer (based on rock formation and member name) in the state of Kansas. The long term goal for this is to allow for rough correlation of rock layers across a larger region. CT assigns a numeric color to each layer automatically, however, these seem to be very close to each other on the color chart and therefore the layers are almost indistinguishable.
Within gINT, I have added a color column to the list of rock layers. (There are about 400 layer names). A clip is shown below.
What I need to figure out is how to get these color assignments from gINT to CT.
I want them to look pretty, with each layer having a contrast to the layer above and below. (I've got two sets of cylinders within each other; only the exterior cylinder matters.
I have changed all of the color schemes by hand in the current drawing. As I've corrected something, I have to query the database again. When I do that, it reverts to the original color scheme, so I have to change each layer/pin over again. The desire would be to re-import data without having the change anything.
Secondarily.... How can I re-import a single set of items, like the disk on the bottom, without re-querying everything? I've tried checking the box on the Database Connectivity tabs and it removes the lithology and just gives me the piece of info from the checked tab. I guess if I could get the standards set up, it shouldn't matter what I query, as it will show up with the prescribed color scheme.
Anyone? Does this make sense?
You could export your level settings in a dgnlib file to reuse. after you have set your colors goto levels menu..export save it as a .dgnlib in your workspace. I'll contact you privately to discuss this.
Sounds good. With a thousand layers statewide, I will need something like this to simplify things in the process.
