- What information do the longitudinal profile files contain in tcpMDT?Longitudinal profiles are stored in ASCII files with the extension .LON. They contain three main data points for each point on the…
- What is a "QUICK PROFILE"?It is a tool that allows you to get an instant overview of the Terrain without needing to generate definitive FILES. A line is drawn on…
- From which elements can a longitudinal profile be obtained?TcpMDT offers multiple sources to generate a profile: Digital Model or Mesh: By projecting the axis onto the existing surface. Point…
- What is the difference between "Draw Simple Profile" and "Compound"?Simple Profile: Used to represent only the longitudinal terrain. Compound Profile: Allows you to draw the terrain along with the grade…
- Can the profile and plan view be viewed simultaneously?Yes, MDT 25 allows you to draw the longitudinal profile in a separate window or use the "Quick View from Axis" option to interactively…
- Numerical Data. Available Element TypesConfigure allows you to include a wide variety of technical information: Elevation and Distance Data: terrain elevations, grade line…
- Profiles by RegressionThe generation of longitudinal profiles by regression is a TcpMDT tool designed to obtain the altimetric information of an alignment when…
- How are 3D polylines projected onto a longitudinal profile?Projection of 3D polylines onto a longitudinal profile is a useful tool in TcpMDT for representing elements such as pipe crossings or…
- How can you automatically generate longitudinal profiles based on changes to the alignment or surface?To automatically generate longitudinal profiles in TcpMDT when modifications are made to the alignment or surface, certain requirements…
- How can I draw the overlap distances in the profile drawing?To draw the overlap distances on a longitudinal profile, TcpMDT uses a two-stage process: first the sheets are defined on the horizontal…
- How can I generate multiple profiles simultaneously from several surfaces?To generate multiple longitudinal profiles simultaneously from different surfaces, you must use the specific command Create Long Section…
- Why does the command fail if the segment does not contain a grade line?Several commands of the longitudinal profile module (drawing the compound profile, extracting a 3D polyline) expect to find a grade line…
- How to extract or list the elevations and stations of a longitudinal profile, for example to Excel?In MDT you can list a longitudinal profile to obtain the station and elevation of each of its points, and export that list (for example…
- How to display and label the slopes correctly on the longitudinal profile?Unlike cross sections, in the MDT longitudinal profile the labelling of the grade line slopes is shown through the numerical data band…
- Errors when drawing the long section caused by damaged or missing numerical data filesThe numerical data file (extension .GTR) is the template that defines which values are labelled underneath the long section. Some errors…
- The numerical data template does not label the expected values (element configuration and limitations)The numerical data file (extension .GTR) is the template that defines which values are labelled underneath the long section: stations…
- How to avoid unwanted or badly represented vertical transition curves when converting polylines into a grade lineWhen converting a polyline into a grade line, or when drawing the compound long section, MDT may insert automatic vertical transition…
