ORD 10.05.00.30 - Turnouts annotation in plan and profile

Hi,

I get stuck on horisontal and vertical annotation of turnout

Horisontal

I am using default software libraries. Create main line (straight) alignment with two turnouts - one is connected to siding, second is free

until it is separate turnout i can annotate it because annotation group is set as "Rail turnout". after creation of siding and complex geometry it is not annotating. When i turn off layer for geometry baseline i can see turnout but cannot annotate it. In reports both are connected to main line. I try to add turnout annotation from the list in my annotation group for main line but all i get is annotation on the straight not on points of turnout.

Vertical

have no idea how to present turnouts on "quick" profile and drawings

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in Advance

    I also have this issue and am looking for a solution. 
    The turnout tools are not very advanced at the moment, and the turnout annotation text favourites in the rail example workspace are not showing how they are derived when interrogated like the others do. 

    In addition, the annotation of the turnout real point P1 or 0.1 in previous BRT release is not supported. My annotations only ever annotate the Theoretical P1 or 0.1 for some reason. 

    Look forward to the finished product though 

  • Hi Alastair,

    thanks for confirmation. I am still using SS2 in my work and did not try SS4 so now a lot of things are new for me.

    it worries me more did i cannot find it more than it is exists. I hope Bentley will improve this software.

    Thanks again

    Kind Regards

  • Hi,

    i did some test and hope is only about my lack of knowledge but....

    No problem to import points and they are in OpenRail Model tab as regression points but they are not presented on drawing

    To present them i added circle to annotation of Regression point definition. Why ? because without this you are not able to sort them. Circles are presented but slew: text is not.

    Second thing is that after use of Sort Horisontal Points command they are changing to line which i can use for regression but best thing that this command removes points !!! so anyway cannot present slews

    JPLN - if you know full workflow how to get slews and regression points plwase be so kind and share with us

    Regards

  • You've all seen that there still have some lacks with regression. It must improve and it will.

    Supported workflow that gives best result

    • import points: use feature definition "Regression Points" to allow annotation
    • sort point: gives the existing (regression line)
    • single regression to create elements (dynamic slew value annotation + point annotation + reports to show slews)
      to my point of view dynamic slew annotation not very helpful - need the sorted line+slew value
    • complex (slew annotation + reports)

    Alternative workflow:

    • convert form rails: doesn't create points so no annotation
    • same workflow than above but with no annotation
      workaround is to report the existing (result from convert rails) as XYZ to reimport and sort and go back to previous workflow
