Updates in Novapoint Road
Horizontal alignments
- In Alignment Syle Editor several improvements have been made. Stability issues solved. Select color by clicking in color index. More drawing elements are available.
- Transitions will not be drawn as arcs when pick from drawing is used to redraw alignments.
Draw Road
- Slope symbols was missing and not drawn correct in transitions between cut and fill. Slope symbols and road edges were not drawn correct if first or last chainage had decimals.
Cross section Drawings
- If there are gaps in Sub-surface layers, the terrain line will be broken.
- Chainage numbers were without decimals (SWE).
- Elevation text was placed wrong (SWE).
- Datum line had incorrect length (SWE).
- Wrong layer names for quantity hatch (SWE).
- Danish cross section drawings implemented.
- Cross section Layout Generator is faster and will handle title blocks correctly.
Longitudinal Drawings
- If there are gaps in Sub-surface layers, the terrain line will be broken.
- Quantity annotations in longitudinal profile (SWE).
- When performing Draw Longitudinal Profile from Terrain Model a Road Profie, the terrain profile can be drawn in a Road Style profile.
- Tanzania style available.
Road Model
- In earlier versions of Novapoint, Deep Blasting was enabled only if road surface was within a rock material. Deep Blasting will now be enabled if the theoretical Deep Blasting surface is in rock material.
- The depth of Deep Blasting was previously defined from the bottom of the road bed. This will now be defined from the road surface. Note: This will result in different cross sections and quantities than for pre 17.00.SP2 road models.
- Roundings will now always be inserted when specified.
- Softspot removal in combination with topsoil gave wrong quantities.
- A warning is given if the user opens a 17.10 road model with Novapoint 17.00.
- Error corrected for export and import of wireframe feature code settings.
- Intermediate chainage points will be generated for the alignment tangent points. Both for main calculation alignments and alignments used to define surface edge.
Export road model to LandXML Tin model and breaklines
- A new LandXML export is made for the choice “Project” in the Road Model – Setting out menu. The LandXML (Trimble) will produce a file that contains the road model described with LandXML <surface> object (TIN), and surface edges described as LandXML object <Breakline>. This LandXML file can be read by most interacting software to Novapoint. It can also be used by most machine guidance systems for excavators etc.
Vehicle Track Analyzer
- Bug fixes and improvements of track calculation.
- Bug fixes and improvements in drawing and edit of results.
- New Norwegian design vehicles are defined.
- New French and Finnish vehicle symbols are included.
