The 3D sign configuration function serves as a centralized tool within the software, offering comprehensive capabilities for managing all aspects of three-dimensional sign design and implementation. This robust functionality empowers users with two primary operational modes: the ability to initiate the creation of an entirely new 3D sign configuration from its initial conceptualization, or the flexibility to modify and adapt an existing configuration to meet evolving project requirements. The "central tool" aspect emphasizes its role as the go-to interface for all 3D sign-related tasks, integrating various functionalities under one intuitive platform. This ensures consistency in design, facilitates collaboration among team members, and optimizes the overall workflow for sign management within the software. Ultimately, this comprehensive function empowers users to efficiently and accurately handle diverse signage needs, from initial design to final implementation, across a multitude of project types and complexities.
Not in use.
Display the position number for selected reference line.
Settings for the different signs.
Select signs in the list for "Sign names" and make any changes for "Eccentricity" or "Rotation".
Note which sign is active under "Sign used for vertical distance".
Used to set the correct value for the terrain height of the reference point. Enter the value manually or automatically calculate a value from the current Quadri for Windows project.
Select which "Elevation from Surface" task is to be used by the reference type "Fixed xy".
Two different choices.
"Fixed xyz" - user enter a z-value in the dialog and press "Update".
"Fixed xy" - z-value will automatically be calculated from task name selected under "Task name".
Z-value in m for reference point (X).
Select the desired mast type with associated foundation.
By pressing this button, the 3D geometry in the drawing is updated with respect to the different current values from the different dialog boxes of the function.
Here you can enter values for the different object types you want to save for the objects in Quadri.
Select the desired type of object that you want to edit and the list of possible properties will be updated according to selected type.
General settings for the 3D Sign Configuration function. The choices made here apply not only to the current position number, but to the entire drawing.
Layer settings for the various object types for the 3D sign's CAD geometry.
The values under "Color mapping" and "Image quality" are used by the function "Store to Quadri" to determine the quality of the sign faces that are saved.
In this dialog, you can control the position of each individual sign in the layout. The values that can be edited will depend on how many signs are defined for the configuration.
The signs are given a "name" in the dialog in accordance with the order they were "Added" to the reference line.
First sign = S1
Second sign = S2
Third sign = S3
Etc.
A number of values are reset to default settings for the function.
The function is closed and data is stored on the reference line.
Note: To ensure that any changes or modifications made to the design are accurately reflected in the three-dimensional representation, it is crucial to explicitly initiate the "Update 3D" function. Simply confirming the current state by clicking "OK" will not trigger the regeneration of the 3D geometry. This distinction is vital for maintaining an up-to-date and accurate visual model of the project, as the "OK" button typically serves to save general settings and properties. Therefore, always remember to select "Update 3D" after making any alterations that impact the physical dimensions of components.
