Tunnel Reporting

Tunnel reporting group

Setting		Description
Input Report		Opens the preview window with parameters used to generate a report listing all the input for the model.
Quantities Report		Opens the report Preview window with the quantities report loaded for editing and output creation.

Drawings

Drawings group

Setting		Description
Analytical Cross Section		Used to open the tool that creates 2D analytical cross section trough the model that are to be sent to PLAXIS 2D.
Dynamic View By Station		Used to generate a dynamic cross section (cut) view of the model at a given station.
Place Named Boundary		Used to open the tool to create place named boundaries.
Named Boundaries		The named boundaries list box displays the following columns: Name- Name of the named boundary or named boundary group. Description- Description of the named boundary or named boundary group. File Name- Sets the name of the named boundary or named boundary group you want to create. Show- Check box to turn on or off the display of the named boundary or named boundary group.
Adjust Profile Named Boundary		Used to allow dynamic adjustment of the profile named boundaries after initial layout where the view needs to be adjusted to better accommodate information in the profile view.
Place Label		Used to place a label.
Element Annotation		Annotate Element- Adds an annotation to a selected element. Remove Element Annotations- Removes an annotation of a selected element.
Model Annotation		Annotate Model- Adds an annotation to a selected drawing model. Remove Model Annotations- Removes an annotation of a selected model.

Labels

Labels

Setting		Description
Civil Labeler		This tool provides an out of the box Civil Labeler.xml file.

Drawing Scale

Drawing Scale group

Setting		Description
Master Unit		Used to set the master unit.
Sub Unit		Used to set the sub unit.
Annotation Scale		Allows you to set the scale factor for text and dimensioning.
Annotation Scale Lock		Allows you to turn on a lock to the scale factors on the annotation scale.
ACS Plane Lock		Allows you to forces each data point to lie on the XY-plane of the active auxiliary coordinate system, setting all Z-coordinates to zero. This concept applies only to 3D files.

Measure

Measure group

Setting	Description
Measure Distance	Used to measure distance.
Measure Radius	Used to measure: The radius of a circle or circular arc. The radius of a cone or cylinder. The primary and secondary axes of an ellipse or elliptical arc. The radius of a circular segment or axes of an elliptical segment of a complex chain or complex shape.
Measure Angle	Used to measure the angle between two lines or segments of a line string, shape, or multi-line.
Measure Length	Used to measure the length of an element(s) and analyze mass properties.
Measure Area	Used to measure area and perimeter.
Measure Volume	(3D only) Used to measure the volume enclosed by an element or a set of elements and to analyze mass properties.

Placement

Placement group

Setting	Description
Place Smartline	Place a line, line string, shape, arc, or circle or a combination thereof as a complex element.
Place Line	Place or construct a line.
Arc Tools	Place or construct a line. Place Arc - Place a circular arc. Place Half Ellipse - Place an elliptical arc with a sweep angle of 180°. Place Quarter Ellipse - Place an elliptical arc with a sweep angle of 90°. Modify Arc Radius - Modify a circular arc's radius, sweep angle, and center. Modify Arc Angle - Extend or shorten an arc's length (sweep angle). Modify Arc Axis - Lengthen or shorten an axis of an arc.
Ellipse Tools	Ellipse Tools are used to place ellipses and circles. Place Circle - Place a circle. Place Ellipse - Place an ellipse, precisely positioning the center and one end of the primary axis.
Polygon Tools	Polygon Tools are used to place planar polygonal shapes. Place Block - Place a rectangular shape. Place Shape - Place a polygonal shape. Place Othogonal Shape - Place a shape with each segment either perpendicular or parallel to all other segments in the shape. Place Regular Polygon - Place a regular polygon (one with all sides and angles the same).
Create Curves	B-spline by Points - Place a B-spline curve. B-spline by Tangents - Create a B-spline curve that passes through a set of points while maintaining user-defined tangent directions at those points. Composite Curve - Place a composite curve, which can have line strings , arcs , or Bézier curves as components. Interpolation by Arcs - Place or construct a complex chain of arcs that passes through a given set of points. Conic Curve - Place a parabola, hyperbola, or partial ellipse. Spiral Curve - Place a clothoid or Archimedes or logarithmic spiral. Curve by Formula - Place a helix in a 3D design.
Points	Place Active Point - Place the Active Point. Point(s) Between - Construct equally spaced Active Points between two data points. Point on Element - Place the Active Point on an element at the point closest to the data point. Point at Intersection - Construct a point at an intersection. Point(s) Along Element - Construct a specified number of Active Points along an element between two data points. Point at Distance Along - Construct the Active Point on an element at a keyed in distance.
