Francois Levy Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 In v11 there was a DTM command, "Set Border", which allowed one to exclude portions of a site model from the graphic. This allowed having data points outside, say, metes and bounds, but generating a DTM of the property only. That command is no longer present in 12. After speaking with Tech Support, I've been given the following (undocumented) procedure: --Create class: "DTM-border" --Draw bounding polyline and set to DTM-border --Cut --Click on DTM and 'Edit Group' --Paste in place --Exit Group --Click on 'Update' in the OI Palette Problem is, the above procedure does not seem to work for me. Does anyone have an alternate approach to cropping out portions of a DTM (other than converting it to a mesh etc.)? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Francois Levy Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Well after a bit more work and help from NNA (thanks Donald) I was able to get the site model 'clipped'. To the above instructions, I would add: --The clipping poly MUST be a polyGON, not a polyline --It may be in the None class (class seems to be irrelevant) I would also add that is procedure is analogous to pasting a polygon into a Roof object to create an aperature or crude skylight.
