Template
It is possible to create road models based on predefined templates.
Templates from the installation
From Existing Project
Import of road models and respective alignments must be done in a two-step process:
Import of alignments and terrain profiles is done in Quadri.
Import of available road model information and surface descriptions (this page)
Note: You are now in step 2. If your Quadri model does not have terrain or alignments for the road task to use you need to do step 1 first.
To create a road model based on an existing road model project use the template From Existing Project.
Start a new road task.
Go to the drop-down for Template and select the template From Existing Project.
Pick the template for *.DMI for models exported from Novapoint 21.
Pick the template for *.GEN for models exported from Novapoint 20 or earlier versions.
Select the DMI/GEN file.
Select Calculation Basis for the road task from the active Quadrimodel (not necessary when creating the task).
Press OK.
Default Road
A default road task is created with either of these versions.
Version 2.1: Adds new functionality for Layer Properties. Can be used for calculation on NP2023 and newer because of changes to the conversion rule compared to older versions.
Version 2.0: Available since Novapoint 21. Adds Network relations and has a new conversion rule compared to older versions.
Version 1.0: Available only on Novapoint 19 and 20.
User-defined
A user-defined template is useful when creating roads where a larger number of tasks for calculation basis need to be set, and when user-defined conversion rules set is to be applied to the road model.
To create and use a template for road models do as follows:
Select a road model to create a template from.
Right-click and select Save as template and choose an appropriate name for the template.
Start creating a road task and select to use a template on the left-hand side.
Choose to use a User Template.
