Does the triangulation need to be drawn in 3D?

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 10:00:00 +0000

No. The triangulation can be drawn in 2D or 3D, through the Draw 3D Surface box in the surface configuration (Utilities> Configuration command).

Is it possible to use multiple boundaries to define the surface?

Yes, it is possible for a surface to be defined by several boundaries. These are automatically detected having drawn them on the corresponding layer.

When executing the earthworks command by platform elevation, an error appears and the execution of the command is not completed

Usually it is because the slopes do not cut into the ground. To solve the problem, another slope must be assigned to the slopes or the natural terrain must be completed for the cuts to occur.

How can you create a surface from contour lines?

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Using the command Surfaces> Create Surface, activating the Contour lines box and pressing the Select button, to designate the corresponding layers.

If the contour lines are smoothed, you need to remove the smoothing before creating the surface.

How can it be prevented from triangulating in an area, such as a building?

Within the command Surfaces> Create Surface, activate the Islands box, and select the layer on which the buildings are drawn.

For the islands to be taken into account they must be closed polylines.

After the triangulation editing operations, is it necessary to update the changes?

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 10:00:00 +0000

No. Changes produced by the triangulation editing commands, such as insert line, delete line and reverse direction, are dynamically updated.

If the lines are inserted or deleted with the CAD, if it is necessary to update the surface with the command Surfaces> Create Surface> Convert Drawing.

Get modified terrain command fails

This is usually due to an incorrect road section definition. To solve the problem it is recommended to follow these steps:

1. In the Roads > Segments command, click the Generate Profiles button and check if errors are detected.

2. Draw all the cross-sections of the segment to check for possible inconsistencies.

The earthwork command for ground elevation or platform elevation fails

Usually it is because the slopes do not cut into the ground. To solve the problem, another slope must be assigned to the slopes or the existing ground must be completed for the cuts to occur.

It is also possible that with the specified dimension it is not possible to find a valid solution.

How can part of an already defined triangulation be deleted?

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Using the command Surfaces> Delete Lines, triangulation lines can be deleted, and consequently the triangles they are made of.

You can also use the option Surfaces> Delete Areas, it will allow you to delete the surface contained within a closed polyline.

How can an already defined triangulation be completed?

Inserting points on the outside of the triangulation if necessary, and then using the Surfaces> Insert Lines command. The program automatically joins the necessary points to cover the closest points with the enlargement of the surface.
