- What information is stored in cross-section files?Cross-sections are saved in files with the extension .TRA. They contain one line for each intersection found, detailing the station (PK)…
- What methods are available to create cross-sections?TcpMDT allows generating profiles from various sources: Digital Model (TIN): By projecting the axis onto the current surface. Point Cloud…
- What are skewed cross-sections?Skewed cross-sections are cross sections that are not orthogonal to the alignment axis. This tool is very useful when it is necessary to…
- If I have an alignment and several surfaces, how can I simultaneously generate cross-sections for each surface?To simultaneously generate cross-sections from several surfaces using a single alignment, you must use the specific command "Create Long…
- I have cross-sections in the drawing created by other software, is it possible to read them automatically?Yes, it is possible to read them using the Convert Cross-Sections from Drawing command, which offers a specific option to process…
- I have cross-sections drawn with tcpMDT, can I automatically generate the cross-section file from the drawing?Yes, it is possible to automatically generate the cross-section file from a drawing created with TcpMDT, especially if version 6.0 or…
- Is it possible to determine the position of a 3D polyline on drawn cross sections?To visualize the position of pipes or services in the road cross-sections, the Project Polylines tool (or Draw Pipes in Cross-Sections) is…
- I have modified the surface, can I generate the cross sections automatically?Yes, in TcpMDT 25 it is possible to update and generate cross sections automatically after making a modification to the surface. For this…
- I have several cross-section files for different terrain states; I need to display them simultaneouslyTo simultaneously display several cross-section files corresponding to different terrain states in TcpMDT, you have several specific tools…
- When drawing cross-sections, can I configure a data band for each cut?Yes, when drawing cross sections in TcpMDT, it is possible to activate and configure a data band (or data strip) that will appear at the…
- Geology and topsoil configuration of the segmentThe Geology and topsoil configuration of the segment controls where and how topsoil removal is applied in the cross sections. This article…
- Why does the grade line elevation not match between the long section and the cross section?Differences between the grade line elevations shown in the long section and those shown in the cross sections of the same alignment are…
- How crowns are defined and applied in the templateThe crown is a change of slope that the program applies in cut from a given distance to the terrain. Recurring questions come up when…
