Question
How to generate the longitudinal profile table in CAD ID?
Answer
[Note: The steps shown in the video attached below explain the step-by-step process for generating the longitudinal profile table.]
To generate a longitudinal profile table in CIM, start by generating the vertical elevation of the entire layout or multiple segments using the “By Curve” drawing generation option.
Step 1: Go to the Application ribbon
Step 2: Click on the dropdown menu of "Drawing view" tool
Step 3: Select By Curve option
For example, we created a PSC box girder bridge's vertical elevation drawing in CAD ID:
Once the drawing is created, open CAD ID and follow the given steps:
Step 4: Navigate to the Infra-design tool
Step 5: Go to the "Material Table" option
Step 6: From the displayed list, select the "Longitudinal Profile Table" option
A menu panel shall be displayed,
In Profile Table Row section,
Step 7: Using the given cursor button, select the drawing view region of previously created elevation view
Step 8: If have, select the Ground Level line from the drawing view
In Station setting section,
Step 9: Click on the "Input Multi station" option
Step 10: Assign and Add, the Station range (Start and End, for example 0 to 40 m) and interval between two station chainage (for example, 2.5 m)
In the Hor/Ver Alignment,
Step 11: Select the profile type to be displayed in the table (as per user requirement, 2 styles for each are available)
Step 12: Press "OK" button.
