Model Viewer

Model Viewer Contours & Combined Surfaces

In Model Viewer, new visualisation outputs are included:

Rendered with Edges. Full render and including the triangulation of the surface:

1.MV render

Contours. Contour display need to be turned on in the drawing to be displayed in Model Viewer. Display interval & colouring is as per Surface Manager:

2.MV contours

Model Viewer now includes Boundaries defined in Surface Manager

Combined Surfaces & Settings commands added to combine surfaces currently viewed within Model Viewer

3.combined

Surfaces

Surface Boundaries

The Surface Manager now includes buttons in the Boundaries tab to allow assignment of Boundaries from another Surface. This can be very useful with Model Builder models – using the Totalmodel boundary.

The software collects the boundaries from the referred surface and adds them as ‘fuzzy’ boundaries to the current surface, with a small offset from the calculated boundary extents of the selected surface. A Description is added to automate the boundary usage. Removing the description will Disassociate the Surface boundary.

4.surface manager

Alignments

Alignment Arrows

During the creation and editing of an alignment, an arrow will be displayed on screen to show the direction of chainages.

30.alignment arrow

Labels

Label Styles

Surface Labels styles have been renamed for simplicity & added to the common folder:

5.surface labels

Roads

Threads

Threads command added

6.threads icon

Command allows users to form and process a computational workflow.

GENIO Exchange+

Added a toggle to remove MOSS from the heading of the file

Create Road / Profile Strings and Resample Sections.

New forms with Hover Graphics. Section widths can be edited on the main form.

Civil 3D Surfaces Output – Assigning Boundaries

The boundary assigned via the Civil 3D Surfaces command has been enhanced. It will now better manage loops in the boundary (previously looping boundaries would not be added to Civil 3D and the surface output could fail).

Vertical Grading Editor

Compute VC has been renamed to Automate Vertical Design

10.autovc

Automate Vertical Design (formerly Compute VC) commands renamed:

  1. Match to Existing renamed to Reference Surface
  2. Reference Line renamed to Reference Point
  3. Constraints renamed to Reference Constraints

11.autovc form

Reference Point (formerly Reference Line) command updated with Hover Graphics:

12.ref point

 

Grading

Grading Surfaces & Codes

Users have the option to not create a surface when the grading is created (to simplify surface management)

Users can reassign the C.L. code.  When rendering with Model Viewer, this will allow the users to have complete custom rendering between object codes. For example, a basin could have C.L, C.L, C.L, - this code combination could occur on other grading objects. You can now replace C.L. with BSN (Basin) for custom rendering.

8.grading

Pipes

NewDrainage PitLibrary

pipe drafting

A new pit library has been added to this installation but NOT applied to prevent overwriting of users customer pit types.
