I have a challenge which would appear easy, but I can’t see that there are any available tools in ORD to help me, so I hope you can help.
I have an alignment approx 100km long on which I would like to drop templates. I have 15 different templates.
I also have a spreadsheet containing the start and stop points for each template as both chainage and x,y,z. There are hundreds of different template drop points so I need to automate this process if possible.
What I would like to do in simple terms is create a template drop by defining the following:
Template Name
Start chainage
End chainage
Template A
1000
1500
Template B
2500
Template C
3000
5000
I do not need any form of transition between the adjacent templates.
What would be the easiest way to do this?
I’m using ORD CE 2021 Release 2
Unless a MVBA exists, or somebody has another idea, I do not believe there is a way to IMPORT template drops from a spreadsheet. The only import functionality I am aware of is with Parametric Constraints and Superelevation (which is just another Parametric Constraint). Curious to see how others respond to this since I agree with you, this would be a great function to have.
