Updates for Water and Sewer - Cable
Version 18.10FP2 64 bit
Added new, and extended existing, functionality for supporting Cable design
Construction
- New function for designing trench with depth relative to terrain, by digitizing breakpoints or select polyline in drawing
- Applied arc approximation on trench section vertical geometry. The function work the same way as for existing horizontal geometry.
- Updated user interface for trench relative/attached to road model. New checkbox to enable “vertical approximation - trench relative to terrain”;
• If checkbox is NOT marked ⇒ pipes are design linear between nodes (as existing functionality). • If checkbox IS marked ⇒ pipes (trench) follows relative to terrain with depth set as default frost proof depth in configuration.
- New settings under Tool menu to view the pipes and connections with the correct dimensions and wall thickness in the design graphic.
- Extended model and updated construction dialog for connections;
• Now possible to design sircular and rectangular mannhole base, -taper and -adjusting unit. Also possible to add info about top cover type. • Added rotation for connection
- On node right click menu added possibility to turn text info on/off
- Updated user interface on trench- and section level with possibility to change the cross section description
Configuration
- New definition for rectangular pipes and manholes in Connection Material menu
- New reference point Center, and check box for Pressure type in Pipe menu
- New tab connected to pipe material to describe Virtual Map texture name. Texture name, if given, will be added as suffix in pipe layer name for “3D SOLID export to drawing”.
- New “sub level” on Crossection level to add extra info to a reference pipe
Calculation
- Updated user interface with possibility to calculate cross section “From – To” station
Reports
- Updated user interface for generating Reports.
• The existing report dialog is “divided” in two. Now the trench selection part is popping up first. Then the report selection part is shown after clicking OK. (Now the data is stored in a temporary database from where the output to the reports is selected). Virtual Map
- Updated Virtual Map WS plugin to read rectangular shaped object directly from WS data model.
- Now possible to view the manhole- and pipe information is presented in the properties dialog by activating the object info button in VM Viewer.
Presentation - Plan drawing
- New functionality for drawing Cable plan presentation.
- New drawing config application and drawing editor mode function added in WS main menu and WS toobar.
- In existing version all Longsection and Cross section styles are predefined. Now drawing config is updated to read the existing configuration database (*.sdf).
Presentation - 3D
- 3D polyline export;
• Added reference point (small circles) on specific layers • New layer name suffix added for manholes: _MBC=Manhole Bottom Center, _MTC=Manhole Top Center, _MTO=Manhole Top Offset (center of the adjusting unit/rotated top cover)
- 3D SOLID export;
• Updated user interface with possiility to add prefix/suffix to layer name , and reading Virtual Map Texture input from config database. • Colors for pipes and manholes reading input from config database.
