Hi guys i need help to close the 2 green polylines. the goal is to draw a section of a stormwater drain created in my lisp file here is my code that i have so far:

(defun c:Test (/ dw dd dt de ds nl sl ip np np1 np2 p1 p2 p3 p3_1 p4 p4_1 p5 p6 pl pl2)

(setq OldLayer (getvar "clayer")); Gets Old Layer
(setq OldOffsetValue (getvar "offsetdist")); Gets Old Offset distance
; Get information from user
(setq dw (getreal "\nInsert Base Width: "))
(setq dd (getreal "\nInsert Drain Depth: "))
(setq dt (getreal "\nInsert Drain Thickness: "))
(setq de (getreal "\nInsert Drain Side Extension Length: "))
(setq ds (getreal "\nInsert Daylight Slope 1: "))
(setq nl (getreal "\nInsert NGL Length "))
; Calculations
(setq sl (* ds dd)) ; Calculates the Drain Slope

I would make a dynamic block that have measurements you want defined.

I am sure there is a more efficient way to work out the geometry - can think about that another time (I am on my holidays and not doing any thinking about CAD, definitely not thinking about forums and stuff).

 

The lines are offset so set P2 to be the offset line (use entlast if you want), (assoc 10) this to give the first point and then an (assoc 10 (reverse P2)) to get the last point (will need to check the syntax)

 

P3_1 corresponds tot he first point, P4_1 to the last point, you shiyklkd be able to make a line at ewach end - name them and use the names, P1m, P2, P3? and P4? to join polyline

 

 

Just a thought - or go dynamic block as above

And try this as an example to join the ends together. Many ways to do this.

 

Also added a check that the layer .concrete exists else make it - you can modify that line to suit what you want but it is useful to have when changing layers just in case (copy and repeat lower down the code?), also moved setting the variable offsetdist and resetting it closer together in case of error it is more likely to be as it was - just me being picky that's all

 

 

and since i am on holiday I am not looking at more unless I get bored, though I think there is a better way to work out the points, perhaps using mapcar instead of angles

Your welcome to use Multi getvals.lsp can set some default values also.

 

Just a thought is it necessary to do offset maybe work out the other side points  and make 1 pline. Because its a continuous shape each pt could be say ptx using set and read can do a (set (strcat "pt" "rtos (setq x (1+ x)) 2 0)) value will find example if you want.

the lisp does not finish, it doesnt draw anything when i use the code you have given

Missed out a "" , corrected the code above, try again and if it doesn't work let us know

as Bigal - if you want to take this a bit further, his multi getvals has a pop-up dialogue that makes data entry a bit clearer when there are a few values to enter, makes the user interface nicer

The reason why i use offset is because the plines are at angles so if you add a thickness it is hard to work out the correct position of the points, if you have a method of calculating them i am more than happy

This could also be done by creating definitions of MultiLines,

in as many different widths as you would like to have available on a pallet.  :beer:

Dadgad nice idea, a make a Mline example. 

(defun chkml ( / lst dic)
(if (and (setq dic (dictsearch (namedobjdict) "ACAD_MLINESTYLE"))
          (not (dictsearch (setq dic (cdr (assoc -1 dic))) "HIDDEN-SOLID-LINE" ))
	)
(progn
(setq lst
   (list
     (cons 0 "MLINESTYLE")
     (cons 100 "AcDbMlineStyle")
     (cons 2 "HIDDEN-SOLID-LINE") ; Name
     (cons 70 (+ 272))  ; caps/fill/joints
     (cons 3 "MLC")        ; Desc
     (cons 51 (/ pi 2.)); Start ang
     (cons 52 (/ pi 2.)); End ang
     (cons 71 2)        ; Number of lines
     (cons 49 0.5)     ; Element Offset
     (cons 62 13)      ; Element Colour
     (cons 6 "HIDDEN") ; Element Linetype
     (cons 49 -0.5)
     (cons 62 256)
     (cons 6 "BYLAYER")
   )
)

(setq obj (entmakex lst))
(dictadd dic "HIDDEN-SOLID-LINE" obj)

)
)
(princ)
)
