-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, next point number, point elevation, 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 attributes 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.
Options within the command
- Specify point location
- Allows you to specify the location of a new individual point in a drawing.
- Enter point description
- Allows you to specify a description for the civil point.
- Enter point elevation
- Allows you to specify an elevation for the civil point.
- Undefined
- Allows you to leave the elevation undefined for the civil point.
- Enter point number
- Allows you to specify a point number for the civil point.
- Automatic completion
- Allows automatic completion of values for the corresponding civil point properties.
- at object Vertices
- Creates civil points at the vertices of objects.
- Insertion options
- Allows you to select insertion options for the civil points.
- Starting number
- Allows you to set the starting number for civil points.
- Elevation
- Allows you to set the elevation for the civil points.
- Assign specified
- Allows you to set the default elevation value for civil points.
- Prompt elevation
- Allows you to set the elevation value on Command line.
- Undefined elevation
- Allows you to leave the elevation undefined for civil points.
- set from TIN surface
- Sets the elevation from the selected TIN surface.
- from object
- Sets the elevation from the selected object.
- Name
- Allows you to set a name for civil points.
- Description
- Allows you to set a description for civil points.
- Measure object
- Creates civil points along a selected object by defining the start and end station, offset distance, and segment length. Points can be defined interactively by selecting a position on the object or by entering values in the Command line.
- Start at station
- Sets the start at station point. The default value is 0.
- End at station
- Sets the end at station point. The default value is the total length of the object.
- Specify offset
- Specifies the offset of civil points from the selected object. Negative values place the civil points on the other side of the object.
- Specify segment length
- Specifies the spacing (segment length) between civil points created on the selected object.
- Divide object
- Creates civil points on a selected object by specifying the number of segments and the offset from the object. The points are placed at equal spacing along the object, based on the defined number of segments.
- Enter number of segments
- Sets the number of segments.
- at Geometry points
- Creates civil points along an Alignment.
- Choose vertical alignment index
- Allows you to choose a vertical alignment, when the alignment includes vertical alignments. The elevations for civil points are taken from the chosen vertical alignment.
- on SUrface
- Allows you to create civil points on selected TIN surface.
- from Blocks
- Allows you to create civil points from selected blocks.
For blocks with attributes, you can map these attributes to civil point attributes, such as Name, Description, Elevation, or None.
- Convert from cad points
- Allows you to create civil points from selected CAD points.
- set Style
- Allows you to specify a point symbol style and label style when inserting a new point.Note: More information on point styles and labels can be found in the Working with Civil points article.
- Enter point symbol style
- Allows you to set the symbol style.
- Enter point label style
- Allows you to set the label style.
- ? to list point symbol styles
- Lists the names of the available point symbol styles in the Command line.
