Is it possible to find a reference daylight PKT file that targets more than four?

I am having trouble creating a subassembly composer and am looking for resources to understand what might be wrong

Hi @Robin_BIM

Can you please explain more what are you looking for?

Thanks

I am trying to create a .pkt file using Subassembly Composer to use daylight with four strata as targets. However, when the lines are connected according to the point names, there are cases where the slope is pierced if there is a height difference between the strata. Therefore, I am looking for any existing logic from others that can address this issue

This is an example: when benches are created, identical points are connected to form surfaces, right? In cases where multiple strata are targeted, the slope and maximum bench height vary, causing the bench heights to fluctuate. This results in feature lines being created according to the point names. When this happens, as shown in the diagram, points at significantly different heights get connected, creating holes in the daylight. I am unsure how to address this point name issue in the logic to prevent these holes.

Hi @Robin_BIM

What subassembly did you use in the above snapshot? The one you created in SAC or from build in subassemblies from C3? If used your custom subassembly, can you share it?

Regarding the holes in the surface, try 2 different options. First, in your corridor properties, in the tab feature line, select the feature lines to go outwards (not inwards), second, use more point codes in your subassembly.

I used a PKT created with Subassembly Composer (SAC). Since this is being carried out in a project, I'm not sure if it's okay to share it. I want to refer to as many previous custom PKT materials as possible, but I am having trouble finding resources.

Hi @Robin_BIM

I have strong feeling that its just a point coding issue only, because from your picture, showing the crest connecting with sag (this is wrong) and creating "holes"....

Can you share at least the typical section or any sketch of it?

Thanks

Hi guys! if @Robin_BIM cannot share the PKT, I encourage him to share an image of the flowchart to try to identify the problem. It might be an issue with a code as @nkiakas mentioned, or a problem with the logic of the subassembly.

Best regards!

Thank you for your previous comments. I am attaching the .pkt file. Could you please provide feedback on any issues you find? Thank you in advance.

Hi! I have attached the .pkt file. If possible, could I get some advice regarding the contents of my .pkt file?

Hi @Robin_BIM

Just opened your file.

With first look i found out lot of input parameters with the same values, for the stepping fill/cut.

You can use loop geometry to avoid lot of potential errors.

Any way when i will have free time today i will check your subassembly deeper

Hi @Robin_BIM

I tested your subassembly and looks good for me. See the attachment.

Did you create any corridor surface?. Where are these holes? In your corridor, on in your corridor surface?

Did you receive any "complaints" (error messages) while building your corridor?

If yes, did you see what kind of errors?

When targeting a geological layer with an image, the bench lines on the same line change along with the geological layers, and the point names change entirely, connecting with the point names of the next geological layer.

Hi @Robin_BIM

I don't understand.

Is the geological layer a different target surface? I found 3 surface targets in your subassembly...

Depending on the geological layer, the design is being modified to adapt the conditions such as slope requirements and bench installation heights, targeting surface layers, hard rock, soft rock, and weathered rock.
