Elevate from Surface
To calculate projections of selected points, point lists, lineworks, or areas to the selected surface.
- Input data for projection calculation in the Surface Selection tab:
- In the Surface field, select an existing surface which will be used to calculate projections. Enter surface name manually, or select from the map
or from the list
of job surfaces.
- From the
drop-down menu, select a type of object, then add specific objects of that type. Projections of points of added object(s) will be calculated. Select the required type from Points, Point List, Linework, Area.
Note: Multiple types can be used in single calculation, select an object type, add object(s) of this type and switch to another type and add more objects. The calculation will be performed for points of all added objects.
- Choose Points to add points:
- Click the Add Points button to open and use the Point Selection drop-down menu with the following commands:
- All - add all the points from the current job.
- By Range - add points by specifying point name range(s).
- By Code - add points by point code name(s).
- By Code String - add points by code string.
- By Radius - add points which reside in a particular circle.
- By Name - add points by name or by part of name.
- By Layer - add points which belong to a particular layer.
- Alternatively, add points from the map
or from the list
of job points.
- Choose Point List to add all the points from point list(s):
- Enter a point list name and click
next to the entered name.
- Alternatively, add point list(s) from the catalog
of the point lists.
- Choose Linework to add linework(s):
- Enter a linework name and click
next to the entered name.
- Alternatively, add linework(s) from the map
or from the list
of job lineworks.
- Choose Area to add area(s):
- Enter an area name and click
next to the entered name.
- Alternatively, add area(s) from the map
or from the list
of job areas.
- Review the list of added objects, remove points and / or other objects from the list:
- From the
drop-down menu, select a type of object(s) to be displayed in the list.
- Highlight an object name and click
next to the list to remove highlighted object(s) from the list.
- Use the context menu to simplify multiple objects highlighting with the following commands:
- Select All - highlights all the objects displayed.
- Select All Below - highlights a currently highlighted object and all the objects displayed below.
- Select Multiple - highlights multiple objects by sequential clicking on object names.
- Cancel Selection - removes all the highlights from objects displayed.
- Click the Calc button
to calculate projections of added objects to the selected surface and proceed to the Result tab.
Note: Projections are calculated for points which horizontal coordinates are within the horizontal boundaries of the selected surface. If any added object has point(s) outside of that boundaries, the warning displays and calculation for that point(s) is not performed.
- The Result tab displays the status of performed calculation and allows a user to save the calculation results.
- Review the status of calculation.
- Check the Move Original Objects box to get the possibility to apply the calculated projection coordinates to original points. When saving results, the Point Check dialog opens and offers either to overwrite the coordinates of existing point with the coordinates of its projection, or save it as the check point of existing point. With this check box cleared, the results will be saved as new calculated points.
- In the Calc
drop-down list define the naming style of calculated projection points. This feature is available if the Move Original Objects check box is not selected.
- Choose Name to save the projection point(s) starting from the name entered in the text field to the right. MAGNET Field offers the name(s) for the point(s) according to predefined naming rules. You can modify this name manually.
- Choose Prefix or Suffix to save the projection point(s) applying the name of original point(s) with added prefix or suffix. MAGNET Field offers prefix or suffix according to predefined naming rules. You can modify prefix or suffix manually.
- Click the Save button
to save all the calculated projection points to the job.
- The Map tab shows the job's objects with the illustration for the results and supports generation of a field report with the results of calculation (use the Create Field Report command from the context menu).
- The Drawing tab shows the illustration for the results and supports generation of a field report with the results of calculation (use the Create Field Report command from the context menu).
