Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted July 1, 2002 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 1, 2002 Make sure that "Use Site Modifiers" is checked on all the Road objects. This will create the 2D and 3D polygons in the corect class to cut into the DTM. Quote Link to comment
Kristen Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 I'm trying to figure out how to use a road object to modify my site model, as it says in the guide. I've created a DTM, I've laid a road within it. I've tried updating the DTM with the road selected, with the road and the DTM selected, with the DTM only selected, and with nothing selected. I get no results. Any advice? Thanks very much. Quote Link to comment
Kristen Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 Yes, I have "Use Site Modifiers" turned on. I realized that it does give me some result: it triangulates a projection of the road on the proposed DTM. However, it does not adjust the heights of these points to meet the road. I can edit the symbol to change the color of the triangles in the dtm to sort of create an effect of the road being "painted" on the site, but that's tedious. In the manual it looks as if the contours should actually change. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Kristen, You should set the heights and slope of the road objects in order to control the DTM results. Alternatively, try Landmark's road design suite using the road centerline and station points method. This method includes tools to set the road to follow the station points. hth, Frank Quote Link to comment
Chad Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Have you checked whether the old DTM symbol is still there? Its not always obvious that there are two DTM symbols superimposed over each other when creating a ProposedDTM from an ExistingDTM. Grab one and move or delete it to see what lies beneath. Lotsa luck. Quote Link to comment
