3D signs

This setting provides users with the ability to predefine the default configuration for both the mast and foundation components that the 3D sign drawing function will utilize. By establishing these presets, users can streamline their workflow and ensure consistency in their designs, as the system will automatically apply the specified mast and foundation configurations whenever the 3D sign function is activated. This eliminates the need for manual selection of these components for each individual sign, thus improving efficiency and reducing potential errors in the design process.

3D Design Preset Configuration

Reference point (X)

Task name

In this section of the dialogue we can specify the task name to pick up elevation from. 

Reference type

These are settings for an automatic drawing, so here the option for reference type is preset to fixed xy.

Vertical distance

This is the default vertical distance from top foundation to the reference point of the sign. 

Pole and Foundation

Under pole and foundation, user can set a default selection for pole type and foundation. It's also possible to use user defined foundation and give the data for that one.

Already existing 3D-configurations from the active drawing can be used as a reference object by using the "Select from object…" button. The user will be asked to select a reference line in the drawing and the program will then pick up definition from the selected 3D-combination. 

The settings will be stored when pressing OK.  

The data from this setting will be used when the user using the "3D Sign" function under the Draw section in the ribbon menu. The command will ask if the user want to assign default combination to positions where reference lines that don't have any information about pole and mast connected. If some of the selected reference lines already have assigned pole and mast data, it will not replace the data, but reuse the existing configuration.
