Keeping Slope Patterns for Corridors

[darrell_kennedy]

Hi all,

I am creating a conceptual drawing for some non-techy people and I need to simplify the figure as much as possible. I am showing a sloped pedestrian walkway up an embankment. I applied slope patterns to my corridor for the sections where there is a linkslopetosurface. I also extracted the corridor boundary. The only thing the figure shows is the existing conditions, centerline alignment, an offset on both sides (the path), the corridor boundary (limit of fill), and I want to show the slope patterns of the fill. When I freeze the layer the corridor is on, naturally, the slope pattern lines also freeze.

Is there a way around this or a way to export the slope pattern lines?

Thank you,

dk

Dear Friend,

You cannot individually select the slope patterns according to my knowledge.

But you can export the dwg to lower version.

Then in the exported dwg use select similar to select all the slope patterns.

After that you can copy them to paste any other dwg you need.

Thanks

Thank you for the suggestion, it sparked an idea into my mind.

What I decided to do was copy the file, and in the new file explode the corridor which brought it down to a block. I then exploded the block and used to quick select to select all that was white. I filtered out anything that was not the sloping patterns from there. Changed the layer to a new name and block referenced the sloping patters. I then used CTRL+SHIFT+C to copy the block in the exact spot and paste it into the new drawing.

Appears I needed to sleep on it!

Best,

I am happy to hear that you were able to find a solution after sleeping on it. I was going to suggest something similar to what @Jeew-m proposed but, it looks like sleeping on it was the best solution. Well, get a good night sleep!
