Re: 12d said "we never seen this error before???"

Error 305 is:

Re: Supertin Colour

A Supertin is just a list of regular tins in a particular order. The Supertin has no triangles to colour, as such.

Re: Supertin Colour

The Supertin will adopt the colours of the triangles in the component Tins, so you need to modify the component Tins. This can be done via the Colour Triangles by Polygons panel. In v15, this is found under: BIM=>Visualisation=>Utilities.

Re: Longsection Plot

If by "tables" you mean "drawing sheets", then maybe you just need to configure these parameters in the PPF Editor:

Re: Longsection Plot

Okay. If you are plotting a model of centrelines, then the plot for each centreline does go into a separate plot model. However, I've attached a 4do macro in the zip file. Once you unzip it, simply copy the 4do to the working folder of your project. (I will endeavour to get this macro installed with...

Re: Longsection Plot

What do you want to change? The model(s) of centrelines, or the PPFs?

Re: Water Longsection ppf assistance

Please email the strings and the PPF you have, to "support@12d.com". I will have a look.

(Please also include a link to this forum topic in the email.)

Cheers,
Owen.

Re: Water Longsection ppf assistance

I just tested Super Alignment strings, and they do plot through the Pipeline Plot PPF Editor, too.

(It is definitely not a license issue, as that gives a different error message.)

Re: Water Longsection ppf assistance

The Pipeline Plot PPF Editor should work with strings of type "pipeline".

In the example shown, if the Network model "PIPELINE" does not contain any "pipeline" string types, you will get the error message you reported, as shown:

Re: Water Longsection ppf assistance

I'd guess you are using the wrong PPF Editor. What is the string type of your pipeline strings (via F2 String Inquire)? The Pipeline Plot PPF Editor is rather old and inflexible, and (I think) it only plots Pipeline string types, which are deprecated. The ordinary Section Long Plot PPF Editor can pl...

Re: Colours.4d Definitions and Data Export

The SUI colours do not have official RGBs, AFAIK, and we modified the two very pale ones, so they could be useful on drawings, too. This was in consultation with the IPWEAQ cad committee. See the comments in the file.

Re: Colours.4d Definitions and Data Export

I think the colour name of any rgb(rrr,ggg,bbb) colour is changed internally as soon as a match is found in the colours.4d file, i.e. the first colour found in the file, by colour number, with a matching RGB. (If it is not found, the colour name is not changed.) However, the colour number is never c...

Re: Colours.4d Definitions and Data Export

The only suggestions I can make are:

1) Coordinate with the other consultants to agree on a common set of custom colours for your colours.4d files,

or

2) Use the SUI colours from the standard colours.4d file installed with 12d Model:

Re: Water Long Section PPF - Service Clearance

Yes, I think the missing "service height" attribute is the problem with the plots. And the "service clearance" attribute would be wrong more than half of the time, too, on average.
