Topic: Enhancement: X-Section Plot - Right extension

Arguably an indirect solution, but on the Plot sheet layout branch of the Section X Plot PPF Editor, you can tick ON Absolute extensions and specify a Left extension and Right extension large enough to include the widest section being plotted.

Note that the standard Plotter type "pdf_12d", will probably plot through pmf_colour.pmf (found in $SET_UPS if not found elsewhere first), as it is set as the value of environment variable PLOTTER_MAPPING_4D in the default $SET_UPS\env.4d shipped with 12d V11. If you don't want to plot thr...

Sounds like you may be plotting through one of the new plotter mapping files (*.pmf) shipped with V11. Which Plotter type are you specifying? And which colours (specifically the colour numbers) are you plotting? If the colour numbers you are using do not match the standard colours in $SET_UPS\colour...

12d Model is not the only software package that does not fit easily into the Projectwise framework. Most products with a database in a folder structure, are in the same boat. It is surely fair to say that it is a limitation of Projectwise . And there are existing Projectwise users who have elected ...

I believe many have tried, and the conclusion was that: Projectwise cannot easily handle software which stores its data in folders of files and sub-folders. This was one of the reasons why 12d Synergy was created. Of course, 12d Synergy can easily manage just about any data, not just 12d Model proje...

The Drainage Plan Plot PPF Editor is used to create an output model which is then exported to Acad. You could try the installed PPF, $LIB\drainage_simple.drainplanppf , with a different Representation mode on the Pipes branch of the PPF editor. Probably "DWG-linestyle" or "pipe" ...

I do not believe that that is a macro developed by 12d Solutions. It is not installed with the release version.

We do not currently support air-bulking factors for aerated stormwater flow. Depending on the particular arrangement you are proposing, you might be able to synthesize it by increasing Ku factors at one or both ends. I suppose it depends on what your local authority means by "allow for air entr...

There are three different 12d modules related to Tuflow, very briefly described here: 1) Tuflow interface -- allows you to use an existing Tuflow license and use 12d as a graphical user interface to control the inputs to and outputs from Tuflow (instead of using various GIS packages). 2) 12d-Tuflow ...

Thanks for the help. I have tried writing a chain to copy the models from each job and then output a 12d ascii file but it seems not to want to work (or more likely that I don't know what I am doing). Does anyone have any idea on how I can write the chain so that I can run it in the parent project ...
