[ Updated 10/01/2022 – v1.2 ] An application for the 12d Model software that allows users to easily fit arcs to existing 3-pt strings, including creating a centre point and closing the arc. !! NOTE: The new version (v1.2) has been compiled to work with V14C2k or above and may not work on earlier versions. Contact your local 12d distributor for information on how to upgrade to the latest version. Features: Fit arcs to existing strings with 3 points Better… Read moreFit 3pt Arcs (12d App)
There have been a few recent requests on the 12d Model Forum for ways of fitting a circle/arc through 3 points. Previously, I’ve had the Fit 3pt Arcs (12d App), but that’s designed to fit plan circles to objects. Things like columns, piles, tanks and the like where the surveyor- this was created for surveyors- can only survey points around the outside, but needs a nice clean circular representation for plans. That macro works well for plan circles with varying… Read moreFit 3d Circle (12d App)
Someone recently asked on the 12d Model Forum how to duplicate a model and also duplicate any model attributes. I’d previously had the same problem and, frustratingly, none of the built-in options in 12d Model will copy the attributes. At least not in one move. There are workarounds with chains and the Attribute Manipulator, but figured it was such an obvious and easy fix that I’d write a 12d Model app. So, here it is. A 12d Model app (aka… Read moreDuplicate Model with Attributes
Source code of Model Duplicate with Attributes application for 12d Model. Dependencies: set_ups.h – Available in your 12d Model install folder standard_library.h – Available on the 12d Forum here: https://forums.12dmodel.com/viewtopic.php?t=1196 !! NOTE !! These files cannot be directly run from within 12d Model. For that, you need the compiled version here or you need to compile it yourself (Utilities→Macros→Compile from the 12d Model menus).
Compiled 12d Model application (aka macro) simply duplicates a given model to a new model with an option to also copy model attributes. Options in 12d Model currently (V14C2j) allow for duplicating of models, but none support also copying over the model attributes. The model attributes can be used for storing various meta-data and user-defined information, but are also used extensively by the Three Waters tools in 12d Model, particularly the stormwater drainage analysis.
