In this video we show how to convert CALTRANS multi style sections into 3D linework and make surfaces and then a corridor model from the converted section data - 4.5 miles of sections in ~30 minutes soup to nuts …
The video showcases the following tools
- Organizing the data for flipping
- Flipping the CAD Sections to 3D linework
- Creating FG and OG surfaces from the sections
- Using Track Section to find the base of subgrade
- Using Nudge line to fix vertical faces in the FG sections
- Using Geometric Selection to find element lines for barriers and sidewalks from the subgrade linework and relayering it onto target layers
- How to use the relayer and Geometric Selection commands to sort out data
- How to use Advanced Select to find Station Labels and relayer them
- How to use Track Line Edge command to find linear features
- How to use Explode surface to find linear features for barrier wall from the sections
- How to use the Increment Text command for PDF Section Station Labeling
- How to use the surfaces to build the Corridor Model that can then be used for volume calcs
