ADD TINABLE INTERVALS TO SECTION STRING

[Brett Jason Taylor]

Hi, I am trying to add tinable intervals to a section string. At present the triangles only go from the start to the end of the string. As it is quite a long string, the tin is failing to capture the data along the mid length of the string.

Is there anyway to add tinable points to section strings, that have been generated from a template?

Thanks

Hi Brett

By default, section strings are tinable.

Can you provide some screenshots or data to show what you are trying to do?

Hi Graeme,

I'm not sure how to attach a screen shot, but the triangles only pick up the start and end of the sections. I would like the triangles to also tin at intermediate points along the section.

Thanks

Hi Graeme,

I don't have the add attachments button. I do have some buttons at the top of the post, however they are greyed out. When i click on them it just adds text to the post. I.E if i press the insert image button the following text is pasted into the post.....

At this point, the explanation I've previously provided is all I can do

It may be to do with you not being on maintenance.

You can email me a 12da of your data or your zipped project.

What version and build are you using (15.0C1c)?

[Matthew Monk]

I believe you might want to change the chainage interval of your section strings (i.e. reduce it to less than the distance between vertices). 12d Model should then sample at points between vertices along the segment (assuming it's a breakline). Utilities->Super strings->Chainage interval is probably the easiest method if your section strings are Super-type strings.

[Brett Jason Taylor]

Thanks Graeme, I will email the project through to you.
I am using version 14.0C2k

Matthew, changing the chainage interval didn't help. I am able to add intervals using the Utilities->Super strings->Chainage, however these disappear when I recalc the MTF

[Lee Gregory]

The vertices on a section string would totally depend on the data producing the section.
For example, if it was a section through a tin then there would point be vertices at each side of a triangle that was cut.
But if it was from an MTF, then it would be for the distance of the link producing it.

[Graeme Winfield]

All points are being used in the triangulation.

What happens by default.

What I am guessing you what is extra points between string points.
Utilities =>Super strings =>Chainage interval

Thanks Graham,

Yes correct. That is a temporary solution, however the vertices disappear when I recalc the function. I was hoping there was an easy way to add vertices from within the function, so that when you recalc the vertices remain.

[Phil Temple-Watts]

You could always dump an SLX for that panel and stick it in a chain after you recalc the MTF function:

Not in the Apply MTF AFAIK.

What Phil said.
Although I prefer the Record button or Option - Manual chain command.

[Brett Jason Taylor]

That sounds like the way to go.

Thanks
