These commands manage alignment polylines for 3D linear features
such as fences or guard rails. These 3D features are used in the
scene for 3D viewer commands such as Surface 3D FlyOver. When the
polylines are 3D, the 3D viewer will use the polyline elevations.
When the polylines are 2D, the 3D viewer will use the surface model
to elevate the 3D objects.
This command assigns a 3D object to the selected polylines. This
command prompts to select the polylines to assign and then prompts
for the 3D object and Symbol Gap which controls the spacing of the
3D objects along the polyline. This gap is useful for 3D objects
that occur at an interval such as street lights. For continuous
objects like a fence, this gap should be set to zero. The available
3D objects to select from are defined in the 3D Model Library
command.
This command creates a report of all the polylines in the
drawing that are tagged as Linear 3D Object Polylines. The report
includes the name of the 3D object, polyline layer and polyline
starting coordinate. This report is useful to see how many and
where these polylines are located in the drawing.
This command removes the 3D object assignments from the selected
polylines.
