Re: limit of character numbers when creating models/files

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... limitation

Basically, 260 chars total length, but 256 chars after the drive letter bit. You don't seem to be hitting that limit, but there could be some path combinations at play.

Re: 12D snippet Clip Library

// PARAMETER HEIGHT REAL "Footpath height" unknown OPTIONAL Change the unknown bit to 0.0 or a valid Real value. // PARAMETER HEIGHT REAL "Footpath height" 0.0 OPTIONAL unknown is a keyword in the MTF modifier command. 12d is using a Real_Box field (that's what the REAL part of ...

Re: 12D snippet Clip Library

Also when following the training vid to the letter, i seem to get errors as soon as i add in the parameters, snippet interface looks right but the output window throws up error:parse error and a line and column, that i cant make sense of What version of 12d Model are you running? There are various ...

Re: MTF modifiers is there a number limit

I don't think there's a hard limit to the number of modifiers. If there is, it's much more than 275. I've had around 900 modifiers in one side of one MTF. I think there used to be a limit of 100 points per section in earlier versions of 12d Model, but I thought that was increased/removed. Are you ge...

Re: Area of a trimesh face

Plenty of good ideas already. Is the wall vertical? You could always trace a polygon around the area you want, Helmert translate that to non-vertical and either triangulate + surface area (if it's not flat or not planar) or direct polygon area (otherwise). You don't even need to rotate the object al...

Re: Trimesh End Caps

Those tick boxes to keep vertices/edge/face buttons will drastically slow down the process, too, since all the vertices/edges/faces have to be re-processed after the merge. FWIW, for relatively clean and simple tunnel geometry you might get something working well, but I could never get acceptable re...

Ah, ok. I think I get what you're saying. It's the chainage interval which is 10 m not the volume values themselves. The volumes report has results at the extra chainages because these are likely to be critical geometry points (e.g. tangent points). Is the 1st report- showing the delta RLs- needed o...

ur team was spending days hard typing the volume information in to align the two outputs to ensure that data is correct. That doesn't sound right, but it's hard to say what the problem could be without knowing exactly which volume calculation routine they were using or how. What volume quantities w...

I think it depends on whether, when creating the project, the "Create working folder" box is ticked. I seem to remember the training course saying not to tick it, but it's ticked by default. Of course, once you do that, all the paths are off by one level and require Browsing.

Do you mean highlight the elements in a model? Only way I can think of, is to use the Filter mode on any panel with a Source Box (e.g. Utilities->A-G->Change), select the Model then click the Filter button. That should highlight the relevant elements. Come to think of it, that could probably be a fa...

It's not an amazing laptop with only 16G RAM but for the price it's not too bad. I think that's a bit unfair. 16 GB of RAM is plenty for most cases, unless you're dealing with large datasets (250M "Bigfoot" version sized datasets). Besides which, the RAM is one of the few things that is u...

Also, a 12daz is a zipped 12da, so there is an extra step involved where the data is extracted before being read in. Much like in any other zip archive, larger file = longer to extract.

Where are the files stored? Local or network drive?
