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, ...

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: Longsection Plot

Actually, I think Fearghal's case will require the model_merge_tranlsate macro I posted earlier in this topic.

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 also...

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...

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,

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:
