set maximum number of cross sections per sheet

I am trying to set up cross section sheets in ORD. I am able to create my sheets and the cross sections plot correctly. Now I want to limit the cross sections to only 2 per sheet. I cannot find a setting that will limit the number of sections per sheet. Is this possible or do I have to select the named boundaries 2 at a time when creating the sheets?

  • In fact the number of cross sections per sheet depends on the available space on the sheet. It is calculated automatically and you can't set the maximum number of cross sections.



  • Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for a variable or trick to set maximum sections. Guess I will have to stick with creating individual sheets by selecting only 2 named boundaries. It works put takes much longer.

    Bentley,

    Can you add a variable to set the maximum number of allowable cross sections per sheet, maybe CROSSSECTION_MAX_SHEET. If the current settings create 4 sections on a sheet, and CROSSSECTION_MAX_SHEET is set to equal 2, then only 2 sections would be placed on the sheet. This would be a great benefit for creating cross section sheets.
