Hi,
been walking through the vertical geometry workshop and have some questions. Might be best to make multiple posts so as not to introduce confusion between questions.
I create a "complex element" best fit profile. Is there a setting that tells the tool "add VC to changes of grade grater than X.X %"?
The profile isnt what I want, so I'd like to be able to edit it.
How do I insert a VC into it? At one location, there is a 2% change of grade that doesnt have a VC.. so I want to insert a VC at that location. How do I do that?
Now, to complicate it a little more, there is a VC close by, so the VC I wish to insert may overlap with the existing VC thats there... but thats a complication. Working out how to add a VC to one of these profiles is the first step.
Thanks,
Thanks Robert and Paul.
I'd previously found the tool to convert to Profile Rule and applied that.
I'd also found the "Profile Insert Curve" tool and tried that. It seems to want to insert a new VPI, to add the new curve. Thats not what I want to do. I want to insert a VC to an existing VPI.
I did try the drop complex yesterday to drop the complex Vert Profile back to its components and it didnt work. Today it does.. maybe the new data I generated this morning was the difference, who knows.
Anyway, I have now tried to place a VC between elements and, while I can select a VC element (from the dropped complex), I cannot select the tangents. The message reads "invalid element".
Oddly, if I select the tanget first, it will allow the selection.
Very odd.
