All,
Is there a command that allows you to find the location of minimum and maximum distance between 2 line strings?
Thanks,
Dave
You can create a point from the POINT CREATEOR command. You can also see those elevations in the properties of the linestring at the bottom of the properties. Look at the profile view of the linestring also to get a good look at those locations.
Are you talking about the horizontal distance using one of the lines as a reference? Distance from CL to EP down a road?
my bad, I read that as the vertical. May have to create one of the lines as an alignment and create points on the other linestring. Then running a report station offset. Or RPS POINT DETAIL REPORT.
I was talking about horizontal distance. I need my trail to be a minimum of 10 feet wide and I was curious if I could quickly Identify the closest point. Civil 3d has a function for this, I was curious if TBC did as well.
What about the explore object command? Select the 2nd line as a reference.
I think my workaround would be to offset my edge of trail linework 10’ or whatever min distance was and visually check for overlap. alternatively you could maybe use the crop crossing command and put in offsets that are visual only instead of creating a linestring.
