Hi experts,
I am testing a corridor drop that is 47m long. As a test I have set the drop interval at 4.7m I have also set the Handle length factor to 4.7m in Civil Standards (shown in cyan)
My question is how do I get the drops to exactly match my specified interval? I would expect 10 sections of 4.7m (47m corridor)
As you can see below I have buffers at the start/end of my corridor template drop, changing the interval or minimum transitions does not seem to work.
I want the corridor drops to match the cyan handle length factors.
Many Thanks
Please check you template drop interval multiplier.
by default, setting the drop interval as 4.7 means even of 4.7 (set by configuration variable CIVIL_DEFAULT_STATION_LOCK). If you start at 2m then next will be 4.7 then 8.4, ... until the end where you will get the remaining distance. So 47m starting at station 2m with a regular interval of 4.7 you will get end station = 49m and previous 47m (last even of 4.7 before 49m).
The configuration variable could be changed so that it doesn't use "even of" but 4.7 interval such as 2, 6,7, 11.4, ...
Of course the corridor drop interval multiplier must be checked as well and set to 1
Many Thanks!
Another way would be to hide the transverse lines created on the corridor (again testing at 4.7 interval drops) if that is possible?
This would be useful for drawing presentation purposes. I am now using OpenRail CONNECT.
Any way to turn transverse lines off in the 3D corridor mesh? I have cardinal points set to false.
(I can change the interval multiplier to a large number to hide them, this doesn't seem the correct approach)
No you can't because the transverse is not cosmetic, it is geometry of the mesh (component). So only the display style, such as smooth, can be used to change the visualization of the components.
