Drainage on multiple work planes
Thank you, if I have understood correctly I have already modelled my floor with the "Modify sub elements" command + adding the points (see attachment).
This is just for the modelling of the floor which is no problem, what I do not know how to do is how to insert a drainage channel on this floor, this object should adapt to the different points (heights) I have along the surface floor. Because I can only pick one work plane at a time, the drainage is visible only to the first subelement of the floor whereas it should adapt to all the subelements of my floor.
I curious to know if you need to be this accurate to get the slope varies? Most of the time people can spend hours to get their slope and then afterward your civil/landscape consultant may change their drainage location and you have to go thru that process all over again. Most often this is where you kill your budget very quickly. My advice is always let the other consultant deal with this because of liability issue if your model will be used as guide for contractor to use.
If you want to get the drainage as representation, you don't bother with the slot drain and points. The screenshot you shown show me a lot of work need to be done to get the hatch correct. It is very tedious work for little value added to the project. To minimize the hatch warping, I always set the floor as rectangular as possible and use the vertical cut. As well use railing to represent slot drain and use the floor as your guide. I rarely use as much points unless I have to conform to the topo. Don't go crazy with the points because 99% of the time someone will accidentally reset your work and all the hours you put on making it accurate will be gone in an instance.
Make your Channel Drain a Line-Based Linear Array Family. Check "Work Plane-Based uncheck "Always Vertical". Include an unattached Void in the Family that will cut the Host in the Project by checking "Cuts with Void When Loaded". Now you can host Channel Drain sections to the sloping Floor sections -- and cut the opening.
- Create a wall following the drain path above the floor and attach the wall base to the floor
- Create an in place void sweep using pick path and pick the intersection lines between the wall and the floor
- Cut the floor using the void sweep and finish the in place model
