| | | @H)@l®li) Tridimensional planning (Pits and Dumps) Incas is a Topko M-added module introducing an extraordinarily powerful tool of commands for the 3D design of pits, dumps, car-parks, terracings, embankments, ramps, tracks and generally speaking, everything concerning the design of models. | | |
| | | By Incas the traditional method of planning through sections is surpassed, since it is possible to work completely from a planimetric/tridimensional point of view, creating sideslopes, benches, terracings, roads, etc. with a set of simple but extremely effective commands. By Incas it is possible to obtain quickly extremely precise project models as far as the creation of sideslopes and intersections with the existing terrain model. It Is possible to create more models of a project, one for each situation required by the project: main model, access road, etc; it is also possible to create automatically the final model Integrating the project model with the existing situation. From terrain and project models, using Topko M commands, it is possible to obtain the sections which therefore become one of the final results of the design performed by Incas; again with Topko M it is possible to calculate cut and fill volumes, extremely reliable thanks to the precision of the models designed. Setting elevations to polylines The design starts from the definition of a polyline which at the beginning can also be bidimensional, since, for example, only the shape of the excavation, the size of the square etc. are known but the exact elevation of each vertex is unknown. By Incas it is possible to assign quickly the elevations to the polylines by setting a fixed elevation for each vertex, or by setting a plane with predefined slopings on which the polyline must stay or by placing the polyline on the mathematical model of the existing situation. Creation of sideslopes and benches Starting from the 3D polyline that has beer defined, it is possible to build sideslopes and benches automatically by different methods according to the kind of information available for the design: it is possible to specify the final elevation that the sideslope must reach and the sloping, or the height of the sideslope and the sloping, the width and the sloping or the width and the height of the sideslope. Another way to create sideslopes and benches allows to specify both the horizontal offset and the vertical offset on the starting and final point of the main polyline; It Is therefore possible to create | | plans that vary In width and height according to the starting polyline. How to create sideslopes on an existing model Again using a starting polyline, It Is possible to obtain automatically the sideslopes reaching the model which represents the existing situation. The tool calculates with the greatest precision the end points of the sideslopes also on non-uniform terrain models. It is possible to set a sloping for cut and one for fill segments; it is also possible to specify the sloping that each segment of the starting polyline must respect. On the edges of the polyline the tool can calculate rounded off sideslopes. Merging of models The merging allows to obtain automatically a definitive model, where you can find a project model inserted in the background of a terrain model; what you obtain Is therefore the model of the final situation. | | |
| | | Other commands Other functions are available in Incas, which integrate the main commands described before: ► Triangulation between two polylines: starting from two 3D polylines the tool builds the triangles between the Vertexes of the two polylines; ► Extraction of models from elaboration: It Is possible to obtain mathematical models according to the volume calculations performed. It Is possible to obtain, for example, a mathematical model where the elevations of the Vertexes represent the differences of elevation between the terrain model and the project model; ► Extraction of a survey from sections: If a design Is performed by sections, It is possible to obtain a survey representing the project points of the sections; | | |
