This option is used to find the lines of intersection between two tins in the project.
Continue down the page to see the Tin Tin Intersection Panel options.
To view the Tin Tin Intersection Panel, Use: Tins => Tin Analysis => Intersection
Example 1
In this example the intersection between the survey tin and Design Pad tin will be calculated.
Pick the <Original Tin> button and select the tin required.
Pick the <New Tin> button and select the tin required.
Either type in a new model name or pick the <Model> button and select a model from the drop down list for the Intersection strings to be saved into.
Pick the <Colour> button select a colour from the drop down list.
Hit the <Calculate> button to create the intersection strings where the two tins intersect with each other.
Turn on the model to see that the intersection strings have been created – even check them out with the String inquire option.
Example 2
In this example the intersection between the survey tin and Stage 2 Roads tin will be calculated.
Pick the <Original Tin> button and select the tin required.
Pick the <New Tin> button and select the tin required.
Either type in a new model name or pick the <Model> button and select a model from the drop down list for the Intersection strings to be saved into.
Pick the <Colour> button select a colour from the drop down list.
Hit the <Calculate> button to create the intersection strings where the two tins intersect with each other.
Turn on the model to see that the intersection strings have been created – even check them out with the String inquire option.
In this example the two tins intersect around the batter string of the Stage 2 Roads tin, as the batters have been created to the survey tin.
