12da Library

The 12da Library option was developed to allow user to store project details and standard information which might be beneficial on future projects. A simple example might be a "Legend" or "Cad Notes" for addition to plots for documentation. These details can be saved away (as a standard 12da or 12daz file) and read into [...]

Classify with Attributes

Classify with Attributes These options have been developed to allow users to group and arrange their 12d project data for selection or other purposes. The example might be the selection of all the "closed" strings within a group of models. The standard 12d "data selection method" doesn't contain such a tool for this, but if [...]

Cuts_options

The options outlined below are various methods for the cutting of 3d model data to produce 3d cut strings. Position of option on 12d Model menu: Utilities =>A-G =>Cuts +-by strings Cuts Thought or the "by Strings". This option allows a user to simply draw a model of strings (eg,cuts strings) over the top of [...]

Road Widening

This option can be used in many ways to create a crossfall envelope. This is very handy to identify as the minimum or maximum x-fall values to design between to maintain a known/desired standard. Cross Section strings and a tin surface can be generated to a viewed (profiled) in section. These can provide a guide [...]

X-Sections from Cuts through Strings

This option is used to make Cross Section strings by cutting through provided 3d data. From a selected centreline and a specific chainage interval or special chainage file this panel can be used to cut sections perpendicular to the selected centreline. This will provide a better interrogation of the 3d model provided, or for [...]

Drape Alignment

The Drape Alignment operation takes an Alignment/Super Alignment string and creates a new Alignment/Super Alignment string with identical horizontal geometry and the z-value for vertical intersection points taken from a tin. The z-values (IP Method) are taken over a user specified chainage interval and chainage increment. Vertical intersection points outside the chainage range can be [...]

Drape Alignment String

Information on this option can found via this link. The option is also present under the 12d Main Menu. Tin => Drape => Alignment For an example of the use of this option please refer to the link above. To access this panel, Use: Design => Roads => More => Drape Alignment String or use [...]

X Section function

This option is know as "Section Segment Removal" and can be selected from the 12d "Road" toolbar or opened via the main menu. The option was developed to remove Cross Section segments prior to plotting and is typically used on existing design projects (Brown field sites). Please watch a short video below on how this [...]

Label flow arrow

This option is used to dynamically label the slope/grade of a tin surface. The Label flow arrow option can be used in a combination of ways to produce your required result for labelling the slope/grade of a tin surface. If the "Point" method is selected on the panel, then the arrow and grade (text) produced [...]
