Surface Boundaries

I am trying to add a boundary to my finished ground and datum surfaces. When I go to my corridor properties, boundaries tab, right click on a surface, add automatically, I do not have the daylight option (see attachment)??? In a different project I have the daylight option to add automatically to a surface. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.

Hi Rainman1,


Most likely you are missing the 'daylight' series of feature lines because you do not have any daylight feature lines in your model.  If you inserted a daylight subassembly into your assembly and you are not seeing it appear in your model, you probably did not set the target surface in the logical name mapping.  Failing to do this step will result in the daylight subassembly not being inserted into the corridor model which will cause the daylight feature lines to be absent in the corridor model. I hope this helps.

This is a workaround but it works........add a second to your corridor (in the paramters tab, no need for any definition beyond adding the baseline and profilet to your corridor) then, you can use the corridor shrinkwrap command to create your surface boundary (it will be right there on the same tab as your screenshot by right clicking and selecting add corridor extents as boundary)

I assumed you meant add a second baseline. I did that but my finished ground and datum surfaces still do not daylight at the original ground????

Then it is definitely what Almas was syaing somewhere in your corridor definition you do not have original ground set as a target.  That would be on the Parameters tab, then if youhave a relatively smple corridor you can just go to the "Set all Targets" button and in the surfaces section set all surface targets to your original ground.

Hi mate. This happened to me when I add the subassembly with the daylight on it and got deleted somehow/accidentally on your assembly then add a new one or did a "undo" command.

 

So I suggest, always check:

 

1. all subasemblies are "added" on your assembly. This can be done by selecting your subassembly --> right click --> Add to assembly

 

2. check your target surface if they are set under the parameter tab AGAIN. I think the target surface is dependent to the subassembly. And if ever you deleted that assembly and/or added a new one, the set surface target changed back to <none>.

 

Let us know if this does the trick.

Spoiler
 

I've checked all my assemblies/sub-assemblies and my targets and everything is set to the proper parameters, still do not have the daylight option when I try to "add automatically"????
