Cross sections in non regular intervals

[Xenofon]

Hello!

I was wondering how easy it would be to add functionality to create cross sections along alignment in irregular intervals (possibly by reading stations from a file). Or if someone has figured out how to do it using the current cad tools version, I would really appreciate your input!!!

Thanks a lot for your time and Lars, thank you for this little gem of software. It's a life saver...

Hi,

I'm sorry but there is no such function in CadTools. However you can type in any station in the input box named "Station" and then hit the Refresh button. This procedure will place the cross Section preview at that station.

To plot that section (current Section) select any of the two options "Current Station as Cross Section" or "Current Station as 3D section". The first option will let you select a point for the cross section, the latter option will plot a 3D section placed at correct location relative to the alignment (selected 3D polyline).

After plotting the Cross Section you may enter a new station, hit "Refresh" and repeat the plotting etc.

Yes I am aware of the current procedure... I am using it already as described. "All stations as cross sections" works like a charm for "normal" situations... I was just hoping someone might have an idea that could speed things up for my working scenario where unfortunately the section intervals are not equal and the procedure needs to be repeated for multiple sections, multiple times.

Still thanks for creating cad tools. It has saved me so many times!!!
