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,
Oh, sorry Michael. Misunderstood. Once converted to a ruled profile element, you should be able to create a curve using the tangent in the complex without exploding. IN the Profile Curve Between ELements command, note the first prompt "...ALT to select components of a complex".
Click ALT on the keyboard and then you can select the individual tangent elements in the complex. This may solve your needs, but there were some trimming difficulties discovered late in the development cycle that may affect you. I don;t know how this was finally resolved, so when you use this method, it might make a new curve but not trim out the complex, which would not be useful to you.
The pick curve first or pick tangent first issue is indeed odd. Maybe you can send us a sample? I'm glad to help and I'm sure Paul would say the same. Send direct to Esther might be more efficient though.
