Create/Edit Intelligent Sections

Introduction

This command provides the designer with the ability to create intelligent sections (currently applied as batter/daylight conditions), without need for any coding experience. 

Designers can easily create the following (and many other) types of intelligent (rules based) sections using this tool:

• repeated benching for heavy cut/fill areas
• inclusion of a verge and fill batter/daylight when the fill height exceeds a certain value
• inclusion of retaining walls (at, say, 200mm sections) depending on the depth of cut
• application of different batter/daylight slopes depending on the amount of cut or fill
• inclusion of a ditch drain at the top of a batter/daylight
• changing batter/daylight slopes at a distance below the surface

Multiple intelligent section templates can be created for each of the above, and other, scenarios.  Each Intelligent Section Template includes options to separately manage behaviour in cut and fill conditions at the position where the section template is applied.

How it Works

Intelligent Sections includes a series of logic actions and and section creation tools, which are able to be ordered and sequenced.  The software starts at the top of the list and works down through the entries.  Typically, users will create a series of logical checks (normally at the top of the list) and then direct actions based on the success or failure of the logic.

If a logic action fails, then the software goes to the next line in the list.  If a logic action is successful, it can be used to jump to a specific location in the list.  Action (Data) Items will draw sections.  Typically these are a draw-only action - the logic is used to skip entries that shouldn't be executed.

The most likely activities are to:

1. Check depths or intercepts (Logic Actions), then
2. Jump to a Label in the list based on the depth/intercept check (Logic Items), then
3. Execute a series of Action/Data items to create a series of sections (Data Items)

It is expected that there will be multiple depth/intercept checks in the list, particularly at the start, and multiple labels to act as goto locations to execute required actions.

There are three main entry types:

• Logic Actions: Each logic action enables an optional check of depth and a decision to jump somewhere else in the list of entries.  Some typical actions:
  • Test Depths: This checks for a depth range.  If the current depth is in the range, then the user can choose to jump to a specific location in the list (to a Label) or End (no more sections).
  • Test Intercept: This checks for a batter/daylight intercept within a certain width.  If the condition is met, then the user can choose to jump to a specific location in the list (to a Label) or End (no more sections).
  • Go To: If this entry is found in the list, it will jump to a specific location in the list (to a Label) or End (no more sections).
  • Undo to Marker: This entry allows drawn sections to be removed (like an Undo).  Normally you have a Marker in the list and the Undo/Delete goes to that marker.  This entry is useful when you want to do a test of drawing some section/s, then you want to remove them after a Test Depth or Test Intercept has met certain conditions.
• Logic Items: These typically act as places to jump to in the list, to skip over actions that are not required.  Labels in particular are very useful, since depth tests and batter/intercept tests can be set to jump to a Label in the list.  Some typical logic items:
  • Add Comment: this just adds a comment in the list.  It has no action consequences
  • Force Finish: if this entry is found in the list, then no further calculations occur.  The intelligent sections at this entry
  • Add Label: This entry provides a jump position in the list.  Logic actions such as Test Depths and Test Intercept can be directed straight to a Label.
  • Add Marker: This entry provides a position to undo to.  This is used in conjunction with the Undo to Marker entry.
• Data Items: These are the entries that creation sections/segments (draw things).  With exception of the Bench option, these have no embedded logic to check depths before taking an action.  The Logic Actions and Logic Items are important to direct to the correct position in the list of entries to execute the correct action suited to the conditions found.  Some typical data items:
  • Width and Slope: Adds a section based on width and slope (or height) specified by the user.  Control passes to the next entry
  • Width and XFall: Adds a section based on width and crossfall (%), or height, as specified by the user.  Control passes to the next entry
  • Width to Surface: Adds a section with a specified width and matching to a specified surface - the default (sample) surface can be used, or up to 5 other surfaces.  The exact surface is specified at the time of applying the Intelligent Sections template to a String
  • Width to Profile: Adds a section with a specified width and matching to a profile (string) - the user can select up to 5 strings to match to.  The exact string is specified at the time of applying the Intelligent Sections template to a String
  • Batter: Adds a section with a specified slope to intercept/daylight to a surface - the default (sample) surface can be used, or up to 5 other surfaces.  The exact surface is specified at the time of applying the Intelligent Sections template to a String.  It is important to set a Width large enough for the section to intercept the surface - if no intercept is found within the Width specified, then the action does not happen and control passes to the next line
  • Bench: This is a depth conditional control - it checks for intercepts at the face of the section and benching section/s, with the user able to specify what occurs if intercept is found (trim to the surface, add the section, delete the section).

Individual Intelligent Sections templates can be applied to any CSD String Object as a Batter 'Override' in the  Design Data Form.  When applied to an CSD String object, the batter/daylight sections are calculated at each cross section by applying the logic established in the template.

The current definition can exported, and exported items can be read in.

Test Depth, Test Intercept and Other Entries that include depth checks - Behaviour in Fill

Depth Range tests are SIGNED.  This means that:

• Specifying depth ranges for cut conditions are POSITIVE values (eg: depth 0 to 1 tests for a depth of CUT between zero and 1m)
• Specifying depth ranges for fill conditions are NEGATIVE values (eg: depth -1 to 0 tests for a depth of FILL between zero and 1m)

Command Interface

The interface consists of three distinct sections:

• Create Templates and select Templates for edit (top left)
• Template Editing Tools - select the Fill or Cut Situation and review/edit the logic controls.  Add data and logic controls (middle left and bottom lef).
• Preview Window and display controls (right) - here the designer can set the cut or fill depth to review batter/daylight performance, as well as change the 'existing' surface slope.  Vertical exaggeration of the display can be controlled, and leg slopes can be shown. 

If an Action item is selected in the list of entries, the drawn section/s will highlight with a Cyan colour (instead of yellow)

If a drawn Section is selected in the Preview Window, the relevant entry will be highlighted in the Entry list.

Basic Logic

With the exception of the Bench tool, logic items are specifically added to check for certain depth or intercept conditions being met - based on these conditions being met, the user can 'jump' in the list to a specific location (defined by a Label) to execute action/s that create section/s.  If the conditions are not correct, execution goes directly to the next line in the data listing.

What to Use, Where?

Creating sections (particularly for batters/daylights) come in all sorts of complexities. The software has been written to handle quite a range of situations, but it is quite possible that some logic is required that is not currently handled. Please contact us and lodge a technical support request for us to include additional logic controls.

The most common logic item to use will be the Test Depths entry, which includes a test for depth at the current position.  Test Intercept is useful to check that batter/daylight conditions are appropriate, before they are applied. 

Sometimes it is necessary to check the start and end of creating a section (or series of sections) - using a combination of Test Depths and then Undo to Marker is required in this case.  The sections are created, a Test Depth or Test Intercept, is applied (to check if the result is above/below the surface or within depth tolerances) and then Undo to Marker is applied to remove this/these section/s if the desired conditions are not achieved.  A Marker is recommended to act as a 'stop' point for deleting sections.

It is possible to use the logic to 'jump' to different places in the list, and to cycle within a process in the list.  Labels can be inserted in the sequence and various commands can 'jump' to the label location.

Saving Templates to the Global Settings

This command opens the Intelligent Sections templates for the current project only - what is created here is not saved to the CSD Settings folder to be used on future projects.  There is a dedicated command - Global Intelligent Sections - to edit, create and delete Intelligent Sections templates that will be included in new projects.

The Global Intelligent Sections templates get copied to the local project-based Intelligent Sections templates whenever a new project is created.

Both export and import buttons are included in both the global and project-based Intelligent Sections forms, to facilitate transfer of individual templates from the project based to global settings, and vice versa.

Notes

• If Undo to Marker is applied, the software may display a message if it detects a loop in the logic.  This can occur if you are deleting sections that are required in order to complete calculations further in the logic.
• Double click on any entry in the list to open it for editing
• In the Preview Window, the 'start' point of the section template is always assumed to have co-ordinates of x=0 and y=100.
• When hovering in the Preview Window, there is a co-ordinate tracker on the right hand side confirming the co-ordinates of the current mouse position.
• The Display Defaults entry can only be added once to the list - a message will display if Display Defaults is clicked and an entry already exists in the list.  The user will be prompted to edit the entry in the list.
