Elin 4 Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Hi, I have made a section in a site model and would like to put out some heights/spot elevations on the terrain. Can you do it and what tool would you use? Thanks! /Elin Edited October 20, 2020 by Elin added picture Quote Share this post Link to post
Pat Stanford 1,445 Posted October 20, 2020 Place Stake objects where you need the elevations, select them and use the Send to Surface command in the AEC:Terrain menu (in the Designer workspace. Probably the same in the Landmark workspace.). Quote Share this post Link to post
Elin 4 Posted October 21, 2020 Hi Pat, I tried but with no success unfortunately.. I can see the stake object in plan and also the locus when I edit "section in place", but shows no tag. Quote Share this post Link to post
Pat Stanford 1,445 Posted October 21, 2020 I have never tried using a Stake in Edit Section in place mode. Do you have the Stake Mode (in the OIP) to be Use as 2D/3D Graphic only? Quote Share this post Link to post
Frederic_Vbc 9 Posted October 22, 2020 @Elin Maybe try using 3D Stakes and Data Tag to get the elevation in your viewport Quote Share this post Link to post
Elin 4 Posted October 22, 2020 @Pat Stanford I understand. The stake was "set elevation to site model" but I also tried to change the mode to "Use onbly as 2D/3D graphic" but it still doesnt show anything. @Frederic_Vbc Unfortunately the tag doesnt show either. I dont know what you are thinking about this issue, but for us this is a fundamental tool that we would need and use everyday. We are working hard to implement VW for us as a landscaping firm, but still think the program is missing some basic tools that we would really be in need of! Quote Share this post Link to post
Frederic_Vbc 9 Posted October 22, 2020 @Elin Did you put your data tag on the viewport ? I Could not find a data tag just for elevation so I quickly made one. Have a look at the file attached. Is that what you want to achieve ? On your design layer : Set your 3D stakes on the site model Create a section Set your section viewport on a new sheet layer On the sheet layer : Enter annotation mode in your viewport Use the data tag on your stakes. (As mentionned, I made a custom one. It takes 2 min and you can save it in your library. See picture below) Elevation data tag.vwx 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
