depth, aspect or height colouring for a tin?

[Mat Win]

Hi there

I have two tins of an effluent pond.

x1 is the base
x2 is the sludge

how can i create a colour plan to show the varying depths of sludge?

Do i need a range file? anif so how do i create this for a varying depth of RL325.00min to RL326.5max

any help would be appreciated
regards

Mat

Hi Mat

This is the command to use
Tins =>Tin analysis =>Depth range polygons

Yes, you need to create a Range File.

It is a simple file of 4 columns. On the Tin Tin Depth Range Polygons panel, for the Range File, type in a new name for the file.
Then pick on the folder button to the right.
Select Open
You now have a blank Range File. You fill it out something like this. I left the Comment column blank.

Code: Select all

324.0	324.5	red
324.5	325.0	acad 022
325.0	325.5	rgb(153,102,0)
325.5	326.0	rgb(102,153,0)
326.0	326.5	acad 082
326.5	327.0	green

To get these colours, I right clicked on the Colour column header and selected Populate by Colour Range

Except I doubt he's got 325m depth of sludge, that's a height range file you've described. For a depth range file you will be looking at values from 0 to maybe a couple of metres in 0.5 increments or something like that.

Yep, my bad

Not really, Mat did ask about depths but then gave heights instead.

With V12, there are several extra handy examples for range files in the Library.

A simple way to create a Depth Range File from scratch.
On the Tin Tin Depth Range Polygons panel, for the Range File, type in a new name for the file.
Then pick on the folder button to the right. Select Open. You now have a blank Range File.
Right click on the blank header box (Above 1 and left of From)
Select Populate Depth Range and fill out panel
Press the Populate button
Check the contents and press the Write button to save the file
