Longsection Plot

Post by Cindy Lee »

Hi,

I am using few templates of the lplotppf. Some have all the longsections of the same centrelines in one model and some has each longsections in separate models. How/where to change these? Thanks.

What do you want to change? The model(s) of centrelines, or the PPFs?

the plotted tables. Every longsections for the same centrelines are plotted on separate models. Upon plotting, when there are more than one longsection (tables) the longsections are plotted onto separate models.

It'd be easier to explain with screenshots but not sure how to attach them?

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 a future version 12d Model 15.)

You can then run the macro as shown below, to merge/translate the original plot models into a single master plot model. (The original models will remain untouched.)

yes, the plot for each centrelines are in different models, which are fine. The problem is when there are multiple tables for one centrelines, each tables are plotted onto different models.

If by "tables" you mean "drawing sheets", then maybe you just need to configure these parameters in the PPF Editor:
