If you did this, go back and turn it back on, and learn to use it.

A lot of people turn off the Transparent Command toolbar first-thing when they install C3D. If you don't know what the Transparent Commands are, now is the time to learn. So first you create an alignment, then create a Profile View attached to the alignment, then start drawing the Profile in the Profile View. If you are entering elevations from plans, you will want to draw the profile in a Profile View. The elevations on an alignment are defined with a Profile. It would be a lot easier for the folk at Autodesk to do it, though, since they do not have to fight the limitations of the API. But it should be possible to come up with something. For all I know, editing a feature line destroys the Xrecords, or something bad like that. And since we basically have no way to renumber points in the API except for deleting and re-adding them, we end up with problems like any labels in the dragged state get reset, etc.Īnd of course, until I actually try doing it, I don't know if it will work. And the user might always go in and delete or renumber the points, so the link between featureline and points would have to be done carefully.Ī 'real' solution would auto-regen all the points when the featureline is edited, but since it might need more points after an edit, there are point numbering issues. Keep in mind that the feature line could change in length or be split into two feature lines, which complicates the issue. When the user edits the featureline, go through and update the associated points.īut I haven't tried poking into it yet.

Then I would have to monitor events and watch for an edit to feature lines (similar to a reactor). I would probably start by trying to add an Xrecord to the featureline when the STAKEFEATURES command gets run, so that the points created by the command are linked to the featureline. I don't know if a group would help or not.
