I can't be of much help (as I don't have the vis module), but it would probably be worth sending a copy of your project to support (at) 12d dot com, if it's not too big (or a link from which they can download it). It probably also doesn't help with the post being in the Practise Version section of t...

Seb, I think Jordan is after the ability to set the "background" (i.e. non image bits) transparent so they don't display. I think the blending applies transparency across the whole image (image and non-image bits). I haven't tried it, though, so could be wrong on how the blending works.

Assuming (:roll:) you're expecting an ArcInfo DEM format, the cell size is meant to be set inside the file itself. Something like this: ncols 4 nrows 6 xllcorner 0.0 yllcorner 0.0 cellsize 50.0 NODATA_value -9999 -9999 -9999 5 2 -9999 20 100 36 3 8 35 10 32 42 50 6 88 75 27 9 13 5 1 -9999 If you ope...

I've previously modelled piles, columns, etc. using a 2-point Super string with pipe diameter. Create points at the top of each footing, translate & copy down to bottom, head-to-tail/join top point to bottom point, set Super string pipe diameter. Care needs to be taken during the head-to-tail/jo...

Yep, either would be sufficient. Both are getting close to the maximum possible over the SATAIII connector (assuming that's what you'd use). I'd personally go for the Crucial MX300 over the Sandisk X400. Beats the Sandisk in most benchmarks and likely to have more availability in Oz. My quick search...

Will largely depend on the interface (physical connection) you've got- SATA, mSATA, M.2, PCIe. You've then got the complication of different protocols (communication with the SSD) and what your computer can support. You will probably need to do some research. If you're wanting absolute best performa...

No. Middle button in 12d Model is used to confirm selections. There is a pan button on all views (looks like a hand) and you can also hold Ctrl+MB to start a middle button pan (once you've activated it, you can release the Ctrl key).

What sort of work are you planning to do with 12d?

Topic: Create new Tin based on highest or lowest of several Tins
Replies: 3
Views: 13846

Welcome to the 12d forum and community. In 12d Model, there's an object called a SuperTin, which is effectively a merging of multiple tins. However, this merging is done based on the order of tins, which you can set/change, rather than the highest/lowest. This tends to make more sense in most practi...

This panel can perform transformations using 7 parameters or a grid shift file (*.gsb) in the NTv2 format. For OSTN02, there w...

Strings->Convert will do what you're after.

There's also Utilities->A-G->Convert->Convert to super alignments.

Can't remember if that's up-to-date. Also, you can use the prototypes.h generated from the cppp.exe (see post linked above) to do code completion.

You could setup a chain that has 2 steps. Both steps would use Utilities->A-G->Change using the filter mode of the source box to filter the interface strings by colour. E.g. 1st step filters for red cut strings, 2nd step filters for green fill strings (assuming defaults). You could rename the string...

Not one of mine and I don't have a copy of it. I know the one you're talking about, but I can't find it in any version going back to V9 :shock: . Matt Stephens, Vic 12d distributor, would be the best person to ask. Not sure if the old macro would still run in V11, even if you could find a copy.
