Cut and fill volume command

The new VOL command calculates the filling and digging volumes between the project and the land surfaces. The surfaces must be 3DFACE or 3DMESH entities (created with variable MESHTYPE set to 0), having different colors between project and land.
The volumes will be calculated by the intersection with vertical lines of the two surfaces.
First, the “Volume increment”, which represents the step on X and Y of vertical lines, will be introduced.
You will then select the set of project entities. The user will select an entity, all entities with its color being automatically selected. Then another entity, of another color, can be selected. The selection is completed by pressing ENTER.
The set of land entities will then be selected, in a manner similar to the project selection.
The filling and digging volumes as well as the maximum filling and digging heights will be calculated and displayed. The vertical lines between the surfaces are also drawn.

DTH command for creating hatch styles from a DWG file

Polyline, Arc, Circle and Spline entities will be interpreted. First, the program will explode the existing DWG blocks and merge the Line entities into Polylines. Then the user will enter a distance (“Segment length”) which represents the length of the segments by which the Arc, Circle and Spline entities are approximated, as well as the arcs and inclined segments of the Polylines.
Then you will select the entities from which you want to create a hatch style. The selected entities are automatically deleted and replaced with Polyline entities.
The DTH command also has this important utility (nonexistent in AutoCAD), to divide Polyline, Arc, Circle and Spline entities into equal segments.
A new hatch style will be automatically created in a PAT extension file.

Slope and Z of a Polyline from a longitudinal profile

The new PTE command enters the Y elevation and the slope of the segments between the vertices of a selected POLYLINE or LWPOLYLINE.
It will indicate:
– the scale on X and Y of the drawing,
– a point and a text relative to which will be further calculated the Y coordinate of the POLYLINE,
– the number of decimal places of the Y and slope,
– position of the triangles, above or below the POLYLINE,
– POLYLINE or LWPOLYLINE entities will be repeatedly selected.
At the POLYLINE vertices a triangle with its Y value will be inserted, and the slope and the flow direction will be entered between the vertices.

About the software

New commands:
-VOL calculates the volume of filling and digging,
-LSC multiplies with a number the scale of 'Linetype' for the selected entities,
-HSC multiplies with a number the scale for the selected HATCHs,
-PSC adjusts the scale for LINEs with 'Linetype'=POARTA*' for the selected LINEs,
-KMP writes the mileage in the BLOCKs inserted on a POLYLINE,
-YTE changes the Y texts of some points, relative to an origin point,
-XTE changes the X text of some points, relative to X=0 of the current UCS,
-PTE inserts elevation and slope with triangle on a POLYLINE,
-P3D creates 3D axis and roadside, starting from 2D,
-DTH creates hatch styles from a DWG.
