If a structure line is placed in the cross-section, which itself contains additional assets, a plus icon is displayed. The plus button displays the content of this structure line as a separate grid. The content section also shows the content of this structure line. The view can be switched back to the cross-section level using the minus icon.
In the following section, the active structure line for which the cross-section is displayed in the panel is shown below with its layer symbol and label.

The action menu of the active structure line:
The action menu of the panel title.
The arrow keys can be used to switch between the loaded structure lines.
The error or warning icon displayed behind the title Active cross-section indicates missing, invalid or inconsistent cross-section descriptions (attached JSON file).
The panel title Cross Sections shows the number of assets loaded in brackets.
The tool-tip for the icons contains a detailed description of the warnings and errors.
A cross section describes how the assets are arranged inside a structure line, such as a trench. A cross section represents the real view of an open trench in a generalized grid view. Cross sections can also be drawn, labeled and printed on the map. You can also edit the representation of a cross section once drawn on the map, by means of moving, resizing, and rotating the representation on the map, you can use the viewing direction arrow to to determine from which direction you are viewing your cross section.
If you have a JSON file attachment, you have to save the changes done after each time.
If you remove a grid row or column that had an asset placed in one of its grid cells, the asset is then removed from both the grid and the content tab, it is then placed under the Unplaced assets tab.
If you try to add an asset to an occupied grid cell, no change takes effect. The asset must always be placed in an empty grid cell.
To edit cross sections:
If there is no cross section description for the structure line, the displayed cross section grid is generated by the system.
area and insert it in an empty grid cell via drag and drop. A notification pops up to confirm that your new cross section description is now saved.Inconsistencies between the cross section description and the containment associations are indicated directly in the grid with an error icon.To arrange your assets, you can select an asset from the
cross section
To add a new row or column to your current cross section, you can use the eight grid buttons placed around the cross-section. The plus (+) and minus (-) buttons at the top and the bottom, add and remove empty row grids above and below your current cross section grid. Similarly, the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons at the right and the left sides of the grid, add and remove empty column grids to the right and to the left of your current cross section grid.
A cross section description for the active structure line is missing. The displayed cross section grid is generated by the system using the containment associations. |
