By Curve (2D View)

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.

 

How to Run


  • Base Mode [By Layout]

    • Ribbon Menu > [Application] Tab > [Drawing] Group > Drawing view > By Curve

 

Explanation


How to use By Curve (Curved Drawing).

This process defines a cross section so that an elevation drawing can be drawn using a CAD ID with the By Curve function.

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

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”.

  • Select Target
    Select objects by type to be added to the cross section to be created with By Curve.

    • Member
      Concrete and steel objects can be filtered and selected.

    • Rebar
      Rebar objects can be filtered and selected.

    • Tendon
      Tendon objects can be filtered and selected.

    • Terrain Surface
      Ground Surface and Boring Surface model objects can be filtered and selected.

    • Slope Surface
      Fill & Cut Slope model objects can be filtered and selected.

  • Define Path
    Specifies the path that serves as the basis for By Curve (Curved Drawing).

    • By Layout
      Specifies Segment or Layout as the path.

    • By Select
      Specifies a single Wire (Line) object as the path.

  • View Setting
    Set the flattened section of By Curve (Curved drawing).

    • Plane Direction
      Specifies the direction of the cross section for the Curved drawing.

    • Sectioning Angle
      Defines the angle used to divide the Curved drawing.
      Smaller values increase precision but may affect performance.

    • Activate Depth
      Option to display objects within the visible range centered on the Define Path, including the elevation section.
