Pipeline Route Alignment Charts' Panels Creation

[a_zayedX5MJ9]

Hello Everyone long time since i last posted here
I have a pipeline route that i want to cover using Alignment charts containing multiple panels for sample the one i inserted which is from a software called autochart which i dont have.

that is the polyline (Red) i want to cover with panels like in the second picture however when i use measure or array path it always need a lot of handling and cleaning and checking to see if it respected the overlap i set which in this case aligned the straight part well but the curved part is incorrect so it has to decrease the spacing between the panels in those parts.

Is there a way to array path the pipeline using the panels with respecting a minimum overlap between them ?

Hi Ahmed,
"Is there a way to array path the pipeline using the panels with respecting a minimum overlap between them?"
In Map 3D, I don't think so. (I might be wrong) You'll need Civil 3D to automate this.

Hello @a_zayedX5MJ9 @Pointdump 

Please look at this old (2007) beautiful Lisp "CORRID_NEW" routine from Gilles CHANTEAU (A TOP Level french developper) ...

It is not exactly what you are asking for but it is a beginning !

Next steps would be : define a distance overlap and for each rectangle create a Layout ...

Bye, Pat

Hello @braudpat

thanks for your kind reply.
it's a good start I will try working on it with copilot as I don't know coding.
The lisp covers the polyline (Route) well, however it handles small segments as individual parts, so it creates multiple very close panels as shown below.
Also, it doesn't use specified length panel.
thanks again for your effort.
