Learning Path Courses:

• Drainage Plans, Profiles and Cross Sections

  In this course, you will learn how to create and annotate plan, profile and cross section sheets. You will learn how to create Named Boundaries that will be used to generate plan, profile and cross section sheets. You will also learn about drawing models and sheet models that are used during the sheet creation process. Named Boundaries are defined from the 2D design model. The Named Boundary defines the extent of what is displayed on the sheet. The Named Boundary can be a top view (for the plan portion of a sheet) or a slice through a model (for a profile or cross section). Once the Named Boundaries are defined the Create Drawing tool is used to create Drawing models. One Drawing model is created for each Named Boundary. The Drawing model essentially contains a referenced slice of the model in the area defined by the Named Boundary. Depending on the sheet type being created this could be a top down plan view, a profile or a cross section. Being a reference of the model, the contents are automatically updated as the model changes. The drawing model is also where additional annotation such as point, distance, or linear labels, and grid lines for cross sections are added. When creating either Plan Profile or Cross Section Sheets, you are creating two different types of models they are Drawing and Sheet models. These models can be stored in several different locations, they can be stored in the original DGN, a new DGN can be created with just these models stored in it or you can create separate DGN’s for these models. Which method you choose will usually depend on the processes that your company uses. In this course we are going to store the models in separate files. Brand OpenRoads Products OpenRoads Designer
