I'm creating some 3D signage for our Point Feature Defintions/Symbologies. In creating the Element Templates for the 3D portion of the Feature Symbology I would like the Element Template to be able to point to more than one Active Cell.
For example. I do not want to have to make a separate cell for a Stop Sign and then a second cell for a Stop Sign All-Way. I would like to be able to make a cell for the post, a cell for the stop sign, and then a cell for the all-way sign, and then combine all those in different manners for different element templates.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,Chris
Hopefully this makes it more clear. In this screenshot I have one Active Cell as the sign, and one Active Cell as the Pole, but it only displays first Active Cell when placed.
What is the reason to not create one cell made of 3 cells ?
I think his idea is that if he had 3 cells, he could use a number of different combinations of display at the Element Template level to produce different graphics. He could display cell #1, or cell #2, or cell #3, or cells 1 & 2, or cells 1 & 3, or cells 2 & 3, or cells 1 and 2 and 3, or ... and create numerous different displays with a smaller number of actual cells. Savvy?
Are you saying to make a "Stop Sign" cell that contains the sign cell and the pole cell and then make a "Stop Sign All Way" cell that contains the sign cell, the all way cell, and the pole cell ... and then have the Element Template reference those combo-cells? Does that work?I'll give it a shot and report back I guess.
Christopher, no, I wasn't saying to do anything, I was just attempting to explain to JPLN what you wanted ...the way that I understood it.
So I went through the process. An Element Template with its Active Cell property set to a Cell that is made up of 3 Cells does not pull in the info to display. It was a good idea, but doesn't work.
