-CIVILPOINT command

Creates Civil Points via Command line.

Description

Civil Points are defined in BricsCAD as Civil entities, which are represented by symbols and labels. The graphical representation of Civil points can be defined through Symbol style and Label style. In addition to XYZ coordinates, Civil Points can have a variety of attributes assigned, including point number, point name, raw (field) description and full (expanded) description. You can also add any other attributes to Civil points and display them in the point label style.

Use the Properties panel to edit the properties of an individual point or a group of selected points.

For improved organization, Civil Points can be collected into point groups based on certain criteria determined by filters.

You can use the basic BricsCAD commands to edit Civil Points in a drawing. For example, COPY, COPYCLIP, PASTE, PASTECLIP, MOVE, ROTATE.

You can use Civil Points as input objects for creating a TIN Surface, which is automatically updated when editing points.

Method

There are two methods to insert Civil Points:
  • Insert a single point by specifying its location in a drawing.
  • Import multiple points from an ASCII point file.
    Note: In addition to the basic ASCII file, points can also be imported from a LandXML file using the LANDXMLIMPORT command.
