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.

Re: Pipe Strings Export

Are they really (deprecated) Pipe strings, or Super string conduits? You may want to convert them to Super strings.

Into what package are you trying to get the data into?

Does the data in 12d already have a diameter attribute? The diameter is set as a property of the strings in 12d and will not ...

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.
