Version 2.0.0.2

Created by Steve Hill, Modified on Mon, 08 Jan 2024 at 08:23 AM by Steve Hill

New Features:


Create Profile of Pipes: NEW COMMAND that offers the ability to create a design profile using your pipes Invert, Centerline, or Crown elevations. This can than be used in your profiles to create a Civil 3D Profile Label Set to label pipe elevations at increments or referencing the profile into a Band for elevation labeling. Control the creation process from the Settings Menu.


Create Feature Line of Pipes: NEW COMMAND that offers the ability to generate a feature line using selected pipes Invert, Centerline, or Crown elevations. Control the creation process from the Settings Menu.


Set Structure Rim Elevations: NEW COMMAND that offers the ability to iterate through a collection of structures to change how the Rim elevation is set. Choose All mode to assign the Automatic Surface Adjustment to True / False, and if False, set a Rim elevation to everything in the collection. Choose Individual mode to either specify True for the Automatic Surface Adjustment value or enter in a Rim elevation for that specific structure and move on to the next one.


Ribbon Enhancements:

Added Create From Parts Panel with commands for Create Profile of Pipes and Create Feature Line of Pipes.


Added Structure Panel for Structures related commands. Relocated Adjust Structure Pipe Elevations, Pipe Depth From Rim, and Set Structure Sump Depths all to the Structures Panel. Removed Structure commands from Pipe Elevations / Slopes panel.


Removed Hydraulics panel and relocated Modify Pipe Hydraulics command to the Modify Parts panel.


Create a new Wyes panel and removed the Wye commands from the Pipe Elevations / Slopes panel.


Reduce the size and reserved space of the About and Help buttons on the About panel.


Enhancements:


Settings: New Selection Prompt settings allows users to control Selection Mode Prompts and Filtering prompts by turning off the prompts and setting a default value for the application to use in all referenced commands. This will help speed up workflows when working with the same type of prompts repeatedly. Default option is with the selection prompts turned on, just as the application has always ran, thus to take advantage of this feature, you will need to edit the settings and uncheck the Prompt for Selection Mode and Prompt for Selection Filtering.


Overall Settings files clean up and overhaul to allow for easier future integration of new settings. Now uses one primary XML file stored in the User's Documents folder here: C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Red Transit Consultants, LLC\Pipe Network Productivity Tools. Integration supports loading previously used settings and automatic removal of the older version of settings files.

Label Pipe Elevation: Added ability to label station and offset of an alignment.


Label Pipe Crossing: Added ability to label Crown on High pipe and Invert on Low pipe if desired.


Label Pipe Crossing: Added ability to label station and offset of an alignment at crossing.


Network Quantities Label: Revised the selection process workings of this tool to offer All Networks, Network, Multiple, or Path for gathering Quantities.


Network Quantities Label: Added a reset button to the Depth Range Settings to reset to default settings.


Slope Across Pipes (Single): Added the ability for both Slope and Elevation mode to verify against an assigned Pipe Slope if one is set. Prior to adjusting the pipe elevations/slope, users will now be presented with the option to use the assigned slope or the entered/calculated slope. Assigned slope value will remain on the pipe.


Set Wye Connections: Command now remembers last used connection adjustment factor and pipe slope so the process can be a bit faster applying same settings.


Bug Fixes:

                                    

Filtering Parts on Selection Sets: Resolved some additional bugs in structure filtering.


Slope Across Pipes Single (Slope Mode): Fixed an issue where Slope mode would not run.


Slope Across Pipes Multiple (Elevation Mode): Fixed an issue where Elevation mode was calculating the pipe slope incorrectly and not setting the correct value on end pipe.


Label Pipe Elevation: Fixed an issue where the label was obtaining the opposite side of arc on some curved pipes.


Label Pipe Crossing: Separation calculation was sometimes slightly off due to post rounding. Rounding is now performed on the pipe elevations only and the separation is calculated off the rounded elevations.


Network Quantities Label: Fixed an issue on the Depth Range Settings where the Add/Remove range buttons were not working properly.


Slope Across Pipes Extended Settings Manager: Fixed an issue where Structure Drops/Skips tab would not appear until fully stretched out.


Slope Across Pipes Extended Settings Manager (Structure Drops and Pipe Slope Tabs): Fixed an issue when using the Settings button from palette a lock violation error would appear.


Slope Across Pipes Extended Settings Manager (Structure Drops Tab): Fixed an issue when palette is open and the ribbon commands for assigning structure drops and skips were executing the palette would not automatically update.


Slope Across Pipes Extended Settings Manager (Pipe Slope Tab): Fixed an issue when palette is open and the ribbon command for assigning pipe slopes is executed the palette would not automatically update.


Wye Manager: Fixed an issue when using the Settings button from palette a lock violation error would appear.


Wye Manager: Fixed an issue when palette is open and the ribbon command for setting wye connections was executed the palette would not automatically update.


XDATA: A fix to XDATA of various components that feature update capabilities to resolve issues that would sometimes be caught in a drawing audit.
