Re: Corridor row limit suggestion

There are technical issues with bumping up the number of allowable corridor models and cuts models. The plotting code is not ideal, either. It has a very long history.

The whole idea of the map file is entirely because nobody follows the rules and every job is mind numbingly different. The map file ...

Re: Corridor row limit suggestion

Ideally, a different map file can be created for each job, to copy the data into consistently named corridor models for plotting (as few as possible). That way, all your PPFs can all be setup the same way on each job and they will always just work. The time saving is potentially immense.

(This is ...

Re: Corridor row limit suggestion

Keep the original data however you need it. But make temporary copies of it, purely for corridor plotting purposes (renaming/recolouring/restyling to your heart's content, controlled via a map file, say). You can then delete the copies after the plot. The plotting process can be wrapped up in a ...

Re: Drainage PPF Cuts Stagger not working

It didn't make 15C1s. I will push for it to be implemented for 15C1t.

Re: 12d drainage design export to DRAINS

Yes. It requires the Drainage module. But please register and login to the forum and post your question in the Drainage and Rivers section.

This 12d Practice Version section is intended only for trial versions of 12d Model.

Re: Lock drainage pit names

The name lock is based on the presence of the Integer node attribute "name lock" with a non-zero value (zero means unlocked). I've not tried, but you may be able to apply this to all nodes with the Attribute Manipulator.

Re: Drainage PPF Cuts Stagger not working

I suspect it would be easier to add finished (& existing) surface levels and depth to invert (of main, not crossing service) as options on the Chainages/Uprights=>Services branch. I could submit a wish for that, if you prefer. I have never seen these two extra values shown at crossing services, on ...

Re: Drainage PPF Cuts Stagger not working

You are not missing anything. It currently doesn't work. There is a wish in the system to make it work, but it is quite a big, complicated wish, because the Water Long Section PPF already has staggered uprights for corridor services, controlled via the Chainages/Uprights=>Services branch.

Re: Pipe Strings Export

Assuming you have the license to export to MapInfo, or Arc, I would go that route, but only after running Classify Conduit Strings, which will set the diameters as string attributes.
