In the video below we show you how to create a drawing that plots 3D point coordinates against an alignment as a profile drawing,
The process steps include
- Creating an alignment
- Importing point data
- Running the RPS Point Detail Report to output the points as Station, Offset, Elevation along with Layer Name, Point ID and Feature Code
- Creating an Import Script to read the Station, Offset and Elevation data as Easting, Northing and Elevation
- Creating an alignment for the drawing requirements
- Labeling the alignment with stations / chainage values
- Labeling the points with point symbols for drawing purposes
- Creating a drawing sheet using a Sheet Template and Dynaview
Here is the start point - the alignment and the point data
Here is the end result in plan view
Here is the final drawing sheet
