[ORD2020R3 - ANZ Workspace] - Problem with Cross Sections Stack Top Down option

Hi,

We are trying to update our workspace to 2020 R3 using corresponding ANZ Workspace and have done some tests with CIVIL_CROSSSECTION_STACK_TOP_DOWN = 1 setting to activate the top to bottom cross section arrangement on sheets.

It appears that the cross sections are not positioned correctly on sheets with 1st cross section at the bottom of the sheet as well as the supplied title block attachment way too high on the sheet. Example below:

The same test done using the Metric Workspace works properly.

We have also noticed that the dgnlib in ANZ Workspace (Cross Section Frame Sheet Definitions.dgnlib) is provided in ORD Update 7 (10.07.00.56) schema version.

We have upgraded the dgnlib file to R3 and re-done the test but the same problems occurred.

We have also found that the dgnlib in Metric Workspace is however provided in 10.09.00.79 schema - which is already R3 (well still can be upgraded to 10.09.00.91).

Has anyone experienced these problems? Has the provided ANZ Workspace been updated properly for 2020R3 version requirements?

Regards,

Mariusz

  • Hi Mariusz,

    The ANZ workspaces are only setup for Bottom Up cross sections. It may be best to create your own DGNLIB for Top Down cross sections. Out of curiosity what organization in ANZ is requesting Top Down cross section deliverables?



  • Hi Paul, thanks for the response.

    I have tried to create the dgnlib in ORD2020 R3 using the delivered Cross Section Start Seed.dgn file but the same problems remained.

    I have also tried to use the metric version of the dgnlib and it works but only with the border defined as an Annotation Cell in the Sheet. However, if I attach the border as an attachment into the sheet model in the dgnlib, using such modified dgnlib results in the same problems as with the original ANZ dgnlib (Cross Section Frame Sheet Definitions.dgnlib). There seem to be some issue with border as attachment for cross sections with var CIVIL_CROSSSECTION_STACK_TOP_DOWN = 1. Perhaps this is why the metric dgnlib is setup with annotation cell?

    The Top Down method is not dictated by an organization but we have normally used it in MX as a more natural arrangement and we would like to continue this approach in ORD.

    Can you please clarify?

    Has anyone succeeded in setting up the dgnlib for cross sections with border file as attachments and working properly with the Top Down method?

    Regards,

    Mariusz
