I recently got a request for an example of using Element Sensor. I have posted something to the group files area.
3D Utilities Using ElementSensor
This “tubes up” a water/sewer network based upon a single-line model that has diameter as business data from Quebec City. Load the utilities_08.dgn in GC v.08.11.08.228 or later.
Please post other examples of ElementSensor if you have them. From the readme, a description of the feature.
ElementSensor
Provides a live and persistent connection between a raw DGN element and a GC feature. The element’s essential geometry and metadata are exposed in GC.
· Element path is saved in GCT and can be reassigned to new elements
· Multiple elements can be selected in a single ElementSensor
· Works with reference files
· Create by drag-and-drop or by using tool
· ElementSensor can be used as D-series geometry input to GC features.
· If the raw DGN element has Business Data, these are exposed as output properties
· Note: currently works on only linear and elliptical geometry: line, polyline, arc, circle, ellipse, and elliptical arc
