Very Good Point - it's got me thinking...:)

on: Intersect 2 Grades (USING A MARKED POINT) :

Great post but be wary when using this method to construct slopes between adjacent roadways. Since you are only calculating from one roadway the slope point at the bottom of the ditch will not hinge and turn perpendicular to the other roadway for an accurate slope. This leads to the slopes actually being 4:1 on the primary road yet a little less on the secondary road due to the slopes all being perpendicular to primary rather than hinging and being perpendicular to both roads. Building a suface on your corridor and measuring contours will allow you to see the error graphically.

Future sounds good. Many interesting ideas, but I think the idea that it will go to help is to find a solution to faster execution of works in the field.
Developing software that can retrieve project data I think sounds good.
Design is moving fast enough, the execution is harder.

Succeses!

Thanks Alistair,
I've heard nothing recently about the TAB provider but was told that as it is a very 'flat' file format, something like an intermediate database may be necessary?
The OSGEO discussion groups may have something on this - I'll ask a friend who is involved in all this where to start looking.
(this will be next week - holidays in Oz still, I'm happy to report!:))

Civil 3D 2010 and its evolution...

I’m not sure what we’re allowed to say about 2010 at the moment so I’m going to play it safe and talk about previous releases.

We did a presentation recently to a company that had seen Civil 3D back in the 2007 and 2008 releases. We were showcasing 2009 and from the reactions of the crowd, it was clear that they were impressed with the evolution of the software in the few years since they had seen it.

In particular, the ‘building block’ like structure was highlighted as a very encouraging concept…

[More:]

Building Blocks

The best way to illustrate this is with an example - let’s look at the Alignment Tool.

The initial release had an impressive but limited entity which showed great potential.

There were many enhancements over the years some of these are listed below and illustrated in the diagram on the right:

  • New Spirals
  • New Layout tools
  • Best Fit Design
  • Criteria Based Design Checks

The point here is that while the initial releases of Civil 3D may have seemed limited, a solid foundation was being established to house more elaborate tools. The good news is that the time for harnessing these more elaborate tools is now.

So What about 2010?

Just watch Junction Jack’s YouTube Video HERE.

This says it all:>>
The thing to remember is that most of what you are seeing is based on enhancements to existing objects. This is a very encouraging sign as it means that the foundation is solid so, not only will we have a lot to blog about when 2010 comes out, we can also expect the enhancements to continue…

cheers,
SeanT
