VBScript For PropertySets

[Sebastiao2020]

Hello everyone,

I have a question that can be of great help in automating quantitative solids

I need help with a VBScript formula to put in a PropertySets that transforms a measurement from "meters" to "station"
Ex: 70m = 3+10,000
The intention is that every 20m he advances a stake, Ex: 20m = 1+00,000, 35.72m = 1+15,720 and so on, I've tried but I didn't succeed, I have no knowledge in this area, thank you in advance!

I moved your thread to the  .NET, ObjectARX & VBA Forum.

 

I don't think too many here use VBScript, but maybe someone knows a resource for you. Maybe some of the Civil 3D experts can give you a solution to the problem.

 

It might help to post a drawing.

Welcome to the forum!

 

If I understand your question, you need something like a station equation. In other words, the station at 0+00 is not the same place as the beginning of the measurement, so you have to translate from one system to the other. The major disadvantage of a station equation is that you can only apply it to an alignment.

 

This thread may help you. Once you fix Civil 3D, that is (see message #2). You import your base station and measurement, add them together, and get your result, which you export (it seems to happen automatically). If that doesn't solve your issue, please give us more information.

Been a while but when you set up your alignment make sure you set the start chainage to what you want, for most of our projects we would use say -10 as start chainage so we got starting grades of road elements, the field survey was always before and after actual construction zone, but the plans were plotted as starting at 0.0, the true point of construction. I did a highway design and the start chainage was like 33230m, as that was the chainage point from the original highway design. But all related distances were like 120m away from that point.
