Plan and Profile

What

Use this function to generate a plan and longitudinal profile for the corresponding plan.

• Plan and respective profiles will be generated on a section basis of 750.0 m for a drawing scale of 1:1000. For other scales, the section length varies.

• The function clips and pastes together parts of plans and corresponding longitudinal profiles.

• The function is based on the AutoCAD commands Model space and Paper space.

• For a detailed description of Model space and Paper space, see AutoCAD help.

The minimum requirements before executing the function are the following:

• Draw the plan of the Water and Sewer project using the function Plan.

• Draw plan frames to the plan using the function Insert Frame/Panel of the menu Novapoint Drawing Layouts.

• For a detailed description of generating plan frames, refer to the topic Insert Frame/Panel.

• The frame to be used for this function is Half height A1.

• The length of the frame/panel depends on the Drawing Scale.

• Plan frames are to be drawn all along the trench length, for which plan and profiles are to be generated.

• The frames should be oriented such that they are parallel to the trench. Orientation can be done using AutoCAD's Rotate, Move, etc., functions.

• Draw the profile frames using the function Longitudinal Profile.
