Hello!
Just doing some earthwork modelling in OpenRail and was wondering if there was a way to show components stagged within a template drop?
For context i'm trying to model soil nails at 1m spacings into a cutting and i'm trying to model the nails individually at a specified offset, however when I drop the template the model shows it as a continuous nail through the cutting, as shown in the image below.
I think moving forward the actual nails going into the earthworks will be removed as this wouldn't be seen in real life, but I would like to show the nails spaced out along the surface.
Let me know if you need any more information - Any help is appreciated!
There is no way to create individual elements with the templates. Templates are creating extruded components. What you can do is create some features using the template or using an H+V offset from centerline or other line and place cells along the path (cell array) at defined interval. What can be more tricky is the orientation of the nails.
Thanks for your reply!
I figured as much but I thought I'd ask on the off chance there was some magic button that could be pressed, as being able to model elements that could be automatically offset would be very helpful!
I'll still try what you have suggested and post an update if I manage to get anywhere.
