Modifying IA Strings

Post by Claire Bock »

Hello,

I have an interface string that is generated via a v-drain template (Final Cut/Fill) in the MTF. I have taken a few screenshots of the template, in case something is incorrect. The 'Cut' section has nothing set in the template.

My query is how do I modify the IA string to go from one point to another, essentially removing the points in between? Do I use 'Fixed - Modify Link' and select 'Width - Width' and then use 'Fixed - to 2 Heights' and set the two RLs? I am trying to create a low point for drainage purposes. I would appreciate any advice/suggestions.

If you use modify link to tin rather than use a final template
You can keep modifying that link afterwards in the MTF
Modifying width pos-pos might achieve what you want

You could also increase chainage intervals in that area and see more accurately what's happening with the interface.

" interface string that is generated via a v-drain template (Final Cut/Fill) in the MTF " - with template generated interface strings you are limiteed to using the final modifiers .

Baically the reason to not use templates since version 10
