Planar Check

Planar Check

Icon:
Ribbon: Model Viewer > Sight Distance Tab > Planar Check

Introduction

The planar check expands on the idea of point-to-point sight distance, by instead allowing the user to set a rectangle to 'view' at the minimum sight distance, and to provide feedback on the percentage visibility to this rectangular area.

This command relies upon the user having completed Sight Distance check/s - the eye position, target position (x,y and surface) and sight distance are used to calculate the visibility.

Results are viewed in the Model Viewer window. Users can toggle to a particular chainage to view the visibility results at that location.

Ribbon Tab and Navigation

The Materials Group forms part of the following tab:

Note: Click on Sight Distance in the Analysis tab to open the Sight Distance tab.
