Summary

...

  • The longitudinal cross section (Elevation) of a structure, which is one of the components of a drawing, is expressed by straightening it.
    By Curve is a function that creates a cross section by automatically straightening a curved horizontal linear map or longitudinal cross section (Elevation).
    The name of the function commonly used in CIM is called Curved Drawing.

  • [Execute]
    The By Curve function in Base Mode can be executed in the Drawing view of the [Drawing] group under the [Application] tab.

Info

The condition for executing the function is that the model must be assigned to the Base Mode with the layout.

  • Run CAD ID
    If you click the OK or Apply button after defining the By Curve function, this function calls up the CAD ID immediately.

  • Classification
    Defines the name of the cross section created with By Curve.
    The default name is “Curved Section 1”.

[Define Path]
Specify the path to use as a reference for the surface plan.

  • By Layout : Specify a segment or layout as path.

  • By Select : Specify a single wire object as path.

...

[View Setting]
Set the view for the flattened surface.

  • Plane Direction : Specify the plane diretion of the surface plan .

  • Sectioning Angle : Specify the sectioning angle for the flattened surface. Smaller value increases precision, but reduces performance.

  • Activate Depth : Enables/disables the visibility range other than the section in the surface plan.
