This is not a tutorial. You simply brought in files you have already created and just displayed them. There is nothing to learn from this video. What users are looking for is how you created the .pro from imported .pdfs, then created your .cl file and used the combine data to create your trimesh. If this is a multi part series the video title should include something like “part x/y”. When trying to put together videos for my students, this immediately comes up as one of the first search items.
I have never seen such a complex user interface like Carlson. Everything seems too complicated. I like OpenRoads interface. It is possible to design a road in 2 minutes with OpenRoads if the terrain is ready.
I am an old novice to Carlson using only intellicad. Your videos are very helpful. Trial and error is my teacher as well. What modules would you recommend if I were to upgrade from Survey? I would love to end my frustration with drawing a 3d line on a tin file created after as-built of curb and gutter install for the purpose of blue top staking. I cannot drape a polyline over the surface with Survey module. I want the ability to convert a 2d polyline to 3d on a surface. Probably a stupid question, but I am a novice, apologies in advance.
Would you be able to refer me to information on creating sub grade areas for my surfaces ie concrete asphalt sections with tbc I’m having trouble thank you so much learning a lot from your videos
Omg drape that’s what that’s for lol No more snapping to every point along the way Wish I could spend a day or two with someone like you to just run down the whole program
@@travischron3175 There's nothing that's confusing about having a proper subgraded and overbuilt model that the operator isn't having to constantly offset up and down everywhere paving thickness changes. Not to mention dealing with the blade jumping up at BOC because of having no overbuild. A good model builder will build a surface that the machine will actually be constructing, not half ass it and make the operator deal with it.
Why not just turn on the "adjust flat triangle" setting that's turned off in the properties palette right there and adjust tolerance to fix the flat areas?
There's no such thing as a surface straight from the eng that's ready to load up in a machine. At least I've never seen one, even disregarding it's not overbuilt or subgraded. Is there any reason you prefer Carlson over TBC? I've never used Carlson for modeling, but the visualizer doesn't look to bad.
When adding a VPI under the linestring editor, right click on the "distance along" field and choose, "station at point". This will get you to the same offset selection method shown here but without the extra step of adding points.
