Colors and Text Heights for Road Body¶

Use this dialog to set colors and text heights for road, intersection, and line definition data. The settings apply to all projects (except text heights) and are saved in the Ter.ini file.

Where to Find the Dialog¶

On the toolbar, select Settings Gemini Terrain..., then Road Body: Colors and Text Heights for Road Body under Project Presentation.

Text Heights¶

The settings in this group specify default text heights for labeling line definitions (center lines) in SFI models. This can be overridden in the Line Definition Annotation command for individual SFI models.

DDS Layers in Road Body¶

With the option Split DDS layers according to VIPS surface groups, the road body is divided into several layers according to VIPS surface groups (1–9). The functions Show Layers..., Export to DXF/DWG..., and Advanced Section use this division.

Note

This option applies only to 3D presentation.

Advanced section without splitting

Advanced section with splitting

Info

Cut and fill surfaces in intersections and excavations also use this division.

Line Definition Data¶

If you enable Draw VA data as 3D objects, the program creates 3D volumes of both pipes and manholes that are entered as line definition data.

Info

This only occurs in 3D view, and only for VA data types 101–110.

The program draws pipes as horizontal cylinders and manholes as a straight cone at the top with a cylinder extending down to just below the lowest pipe level. Manholes are only drawn if the manhole dimension is greater than zero.

3D volumes look good in render presentations, but are particularly useful as advanced sections in cross-section drawings. Pipes are drawn exactly with the parallel offset and pipe levels specified during design.

Pipe Levels in Section¶

The following pipe levels are reflected in the sections:

For stormwater and wastewater pipes (data types 101, 102, 106, and 107), the pipe level indicates the inside bottom of the pipe.
For water and pump pipes (data types 103, 104, 108, and 109), the pipe level indicates the outside top of the pipe.

Note

For render presentations, manholes are drawn with materialID 100, while pipes are drawn with materialID 101–110 (same as the data type).
