I need to divide a big region on lines intersections. imagine that you create a region around a chess table and break the region so you get each square as a new region.
I can't use array because the sub-regions aren't regular. I need this divided regions to export a DXF file to a Finite elements program.
I need a easy way to create a lot of small regions, or divide a big region in lines intersections, or a fast way to pick points inside objects.
Its like that:
imagine that you do 100 horizontal lines and then 100 vertical lines. Now you have 10.000 squares. i need a fast way to make a region in each one of then.
So its too much trouble to pick points inside each one of then. i need to divide a big region or a fast way to create Plines or objects with the little squares. And i cant use array because they aren t regular squares.
Its something that i do often, its not a one time thing. This is necessary in structure analysis modeling, i export this dwg to a dxf file, that i use on a finite element program.
i never did a lisp before.
as i know there is not a method to divide a region into several regions,
there is a SliceSolid to solids,but not to region objects,
Is there a command that would break lines at intersections automatically?
I know there is such a command in autocad map 3D, but is there a way to do it in LT? With a macro?
I have attached a picture of the parcels that I like to break at each intersection has an example.
Then I go on to use the OVERKILL command which works very well.
I cant start drawing an object from anywhere else( ie. inside a grid) except form the points where grid lines intersect. How do i go back to old system? I need to get some work done fast.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have to put some trusts between two beam. It sounds easy but i'm unable to handle the divide and round off commands in the lisp. See attachement also.
To draw my trust between the 2 beams, what I normally do, is that I manually take the distance between the two points say it's 10 000 and wrote it down. Then I divide it by my max gap, say 1200, it is the max space between trust.
10 000/1200 = 8.333333 that's the result of how much trust and space between them that i'll need, 8 trusts, 9 spaces between the 2 beams. (That is what I'm unable to do in the lisp, tell it to round off 8.333 to 9 and use 9 for divide command)
What I manually do at this point to draw these trust is that I must create a temporarly line between the 2 beams, perpendicularly to these and divide it by 9.
It gives me 8 cross (or point) to draw my trusts. All this is long to do manually because I have many bay in building and I have to redo this operation for every the bay.
So, what I would like the lisp to ask is:
Specify distance between two beams (Between where and where) :
Specify the lenght of the trust :
Specify max gap: I would like to answer a number here, say like 1200 max
(The lisp should draw the lines on the current layer, color and linetype of the current layer and not draw a line at the beginning and at the end because that's where my Beams are. I hoped you understand, see attachement.
Should also have something that handle a ESCAPE hit or cancel, something like this:
(defun trap1 (errmsg) (command "_.undo" "_end") ; undo end (setvar "osmode" oldsnap) ; restore variables (setvar "cmdecho" 1) ; enable cmdecho (setq *error* temperr) ; restore old error handler (prompt "

Is there a way/plugin that divides some shape in parallel lines?
Something like doing:
slice with slice plane along ex. "X" axis every 20cm
of course my shapes not aligned in any axis. Making working pivot for each shape and then making a hundred slices would be a massacre.

I have created a 'Title Block' family which I am wanting to use as a 'drawing stamp', being used to mark an existing drawing sheet carried forward to another phase of the project as being from the previous phase. To do this I have created a filled region with an opaque white background and a grey border (gray) to form the extent of the 'stamp'. I have then created a number of labels for the relevant information and added some lines as borders to the labels.
The problem comes when it is used on a project sheet since the label border lines do not appear. Since the commands to 'send to the back' or 'bring to the front' are absent when editing a title block I wonder why this is? Logic suggests that the only workaround is to create a number of filled regions, in jigsaw style, one for each label and to use their borders as the label borders. However, this seems an enormously long winded an probably kilobyte hungry way of achieving something that should possibly be very simple. I have to say that it may also have an easy solution that I may have used before but forgotten.
Using Inventor 2013 and having issues with the fill/hatch region feature. I inserted my company logo on our custom border i am making and need to fill the logo in with colors to match our autocad verison borders. I go to click on fill/hatch region button and it doesnt do nothing and wont let me do nothing.

Select this option if you want the edges of masking regions and filled regions to cover lines with which they coincide. (This option is available only if the Vector Processing option is enabled.)"

What I have is 2 intersecting arcs with varying radii and ucs values. I'm guessing these could turned into regions and then subtract 1 from the other in order to find a list of intersecting points or maybe a splined pline. Or maybe they could be joined. Either way, if I DXFOUT the solids in R12 format, they become plines

How to deal with this situation. Insections not lining up
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat is the advantage of creating a seperate corridor for an intersection? Doing so requires leaving gaps in the road corridors at the intersections which creates a mess in the surface triangulation through the gap. I know we can clean it up by creating a composite surface and pasting all the pieces together but how tediious that is!
I was wanting to keep the intersections as seperate corridors because if we add them to the road corridor we end up with numerous duplicate baselines which makes editing and data management a nightmare.This whole process is a huge time consumer. I can't understand how Autodesk expects DOT's to adopt this software with this workflow.
I have run across a situation that I have not been able to find having been previously asked. I have attached the file of what I am working on.
I have 2 dimensions to the implied intersection, but how do I put the dimension when there are 2 implied intersections? Such as along the bottom of the part.
I've created a T intersection and have created the surface for the T corridor and the entering side road. The surfaces appear correct. When I create a surface for the main road, which has been split into two regions, the surface goes thru the T corridor. How do I create a surface that simply goes up to the T intersection and picks up again after the T intersection?

We are making road , it has intersections with simple roads wich leads to forest or a fields or to a private territory. We have 60 of those intersections (crossroads) , if we would start making them all with intersection wizzard it would take a lot of time... , maybe there is simpler way to make such an easy crossings ? ( all of those crossroads are same type same geometry, the only difference is location)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI went forward designing intersection profiles with limited survey and simply made an educated guess for the secondary roads pgl tie in point. I have received updated survey and when I move the profile end point to meet existing grade it adds another pvi effectively holding the profile grade I set preliminarily. I'm keeping the lock point. Is there something with the return/ offset profiles preventing this edit? What is the proper work flow?

Using the Best Practices, different components in their own DWG files, all brought together in a production sheet where I can place the labeling for that sheet. I can add labels for Surfaces, Alignments, Pipe networks, through the Xref(s). Evidently this was not extended to Intersection Objects.
What I'm doing now is creating a new Intersection at each street intersection just so I can get a label which shows the station of each alignment at the intersection. Is there a better way to do this?
Didn't their use to be a control for how PLines showed up at intersections when you increased the width? I can't remember where it was (dialog box, options, sys-var)?

So it looks like I have to delete the intersection object and re-start the wizard from scratch. Not that it's a big deal, just thought there might be a way to make the change once the intersection is built.
