Dear colleagues,
Starting on a new project, I found my predecessor used draping on triangulation input leaving the field 1`blank, like this:
SECTion ,tri kwm inm,kwmSECTion ,kwm177, ,tkwm, , 999
thus draping all strings in the kwm model.
I didn't even know that was an option (it isn't in the reference information, fields 1 and 3 are * mandatory. Never too old to learn, and experiment, I tried to use this with a partial string name to exclude other alignment's designs:
SECTion ,tri kwm inm,kwmSECTion ,kwm Uitsluitend de PRB Z; de andere assen volgen een nieuwe en afwijkende druklaag177, h ,tkwm, , 999
but no luck this time. All strings are draped, the partial label is ignored. I'll work around this, but is this intended?
Hi
Have you tried using a mask to exlcude the strings you do not want ?

Masks in a SECTion-major usually apply to strings in the sectioned model. When sectioning a triangulation, you won't need this, so perhaps this could work. Right now I'm frantically trying to make up lost time caused by this miscoding, but I'd like to try replacing my workaround with a cleaner input using masking.
