- Command:
PROCESSLINEWORK· Global name:_PROCESSLINEWORK· Alias:LINEWORK - Ribbon: Topography › Points
- Menu: Survey
Draws by codes: joins the survey points with the same line code into 3D or 2D polylines and inserts the symbol of block codes, following the code table (SURVEYCODES).
Usage
- Enter PROCESSLINEWORK (alias LINEWORK) or click Draw by codes on the Survey tab.
Select the terrain points (points, blocks or a surface):
- Select the points and press Enter.
It is also done on import, with the Draw by codes check box of IMPORTPOINTS.
Notes
- Points are taken in the order they were created, which is the order of the field file.
- Each line goes on its code's layer and colour. 3D lines pass through the elevation of each point (arcs are split into segments of 5° at most); 2D lines keep arcs as polyline arcs, at elevation 0.
- The start, end, close, arc and offset modifiers are explained in SURVEYCODES.
- At the end you are told how many lines and blocks were drawn and which codes are not in the table.
- 3D polylines can be used as TIN breaklines.
