Topic: split profile view elevation range

[drizzt]

As far as I know I did it your way. I created 3 profile views from scatch. first intermediate and end.

So, you started with a COPY of the STANDARD profile view style...
and modified colors, layers and linetypes to suit your needs...
and then you used that style for your split profile view styles?

Me thinks you are missing something that I can't see in anything that you have typed here, and without a copy of your file further trouble shooting is going to be a bit difficult unless you post some screen shots of your settings, the results of same, and or a copy of one of your files in my inbox. (see profile for address, or request FTP site data through PM should you feel the file is too large as is.)

I'm not quitting on you, although without more information it's going to be harder to solve.

As it is my birthday, hows  about a 'gift' of the data; just to make it easier on me to help you today only?

here you go!

ps i did not copy standard, I created new

take a hard look at this

Use this page to specify the profile view height and any split profile view settings.

Profile View Height

Automatic
Specifies the full height of the highest profile. Includes a buffer region above the maximum and below the minimum elevations.

User Specified
Specifies the height to which the profile view is drawn. If a profile extends beyond the user-specified value, it is either split according to the Split Profile View settings or clipped.

Profile View Datum By
Specifies how to place the datum for all profiles within the profile view.

•Minimum Elevation—All profile datum values are based on the lowest datum value of all profiles in the profile view. This option works well for profiles that have relatively high variation in elevation.
•Mean Elevation—Profile datum values are based on the mean value of all profiles drawn in the profile view. Profiles are drawn in the center of the profile view, which places an equal amount of space above and below the profile in the profile view. This option is useful in profiles that have relatively little variation in elevation.
Split Profile View

NoteThe Split Profile View settings are enabled only if the Profile View Height is set to User Specified.
Split Profile View
Specifies that if the height of the profile extends beyond the User-Specified height value of the profile view, the profile view splits.
 

could it be you are specifying a height that simply will always result in clipping (off the data you need to see)?

[mjfarrell]

here you go!

thanks for that...will examine upon return from meeting!

OK, from what I can tell the reason you are not or were not seeing your pipes in the profile views is related to their STYLE, and the fact that they are PERPENDICULAR to the alignment (I think I used the correct one)
You need to turn ON the Crossing Pipes display components within the style. And then you will see the pipes crossing under the alignment.

[mjfarrell]

For some of the Profile views one might still want to use the information on the Elevations Tab (Profile View Properties Dialog Box)
to adjust the datum  and grid height to better center the design information within the grid

Split Profile View

Selecting Split Profile View enables the Automatic and Manual controls.

Manual
Splits the profile view at user-specified locations and allows using a different style for each split segment.

No: Sequential number of split segments.

Split Station: Starting station value of each split location. The split station of segment number 1 is the starting station of the profile view and is not editable. Enter a specific value or click  to select a location on the profile view.

Adjusted Datum: Vertical split location. Enter a specific value or click  to select a location on the profile view.

Profile View Style: Style selection of each profile view segment.

I'm also thinking that during the creation stage, one should pay particular attention to the Automatic elevations; then when one enters the manual elevation data enter a number that is at least as deep (low) or deeper than the lowest invert -10.  Try that out and see if the results aren't a little more satisfactory straight out of the gate.  (as shown in image in last post)

will give it a shot

[mjfarrell]

another option, include MORE cell padding below the DATUM in the PV style.

[drizzt]

I did try this before, it updated in my master file, but not in the sheet set. Yes... I did change the cell padding in both files for all profile view styles.

Sounds like I need to watch what you are doing; up close and in person.

Although it probably isn't your fault...

[drizzt]

of course its not my fault. Im the smartest guy I know, just ask me and I will tell you!


ok. I am creating another sheet set and I am at the create sheets wizard, prfile view Height and everything is greyed out. I can't change anything. Is this what you were talking about?
