Centre Line to Solid
The Wireframe | Create from Strings | Centre Line to Solid function converts one or more strings into solids. You can use it to generate a single wireframe, or generate multiple wireframes, from the polygons that define underground features such as drives.
Options to generate wireframes per polygon, per segment, or split by parts or length, are provided.
Note: You can also use the Centre Line to Solid tool on the Wireframe Tools toolbar to create and save wireframes extruded from the strings displayed in Vizex.
Specify the following parameters on the Input tab of the Centre Line to Solid form:
Input
File
Double-click to select a String file to load. If required, define a filter to selectively control the records to be processed. To create a new file, right-click in the File input box and select New from the right-click menu.
East and North and Z fields
Specify the names of the fields in which Easting, Northing, and Z coordinates are stored in the input file.
String field
If you selected a string file as the file type, specify the name of the field that will contain values that define whether data points will be joined by a line. The values of this field in successive records must be the same before the points will be strung.
Join field
If you selected a string file as the file type, specify the name of the field that will contain values that define whether data points will be joined by a line i.e. strung. If successive records have the same value in this field and no String field is defined (see below) a line will join the points. If a String field is defined, then values in each field in successive records must be the same before the points will be strung.
