Developing sections from Plan

[Structo]

Hi Friends,

i have struggled with drawing sections every time with help of plan data. please help with any idea. is this really possible by code?
procedure is if select the lines by cross window, with help of selected set of lines should develop sections and ask for insert point of developed sections.

Note depth or height of all sections are equal. i.e 24".

please find sample drawings of input plan and required out put sections.

Thanks..

Whilst I dont have anything there is a way of starting and that is to use ssget "F" option it will pick up the cross beams in the correct order and then you can get the intersection of these lines so drawing the intermediate beams at correct spans. Add a depth and you have part 1 done. You can use inters or vl-intersectwith to work out the points.

; this is your fence line
(setvar "osmode" 512)
(setq pt1 (getpoint))
(setvar "osmode" 128 )
(setq pt2 (getpoint pt1))
(setq lst (list pt1 pt2))
(setq ss (ssget "F" lst))

Hi friend,
Thank you for reply. how to use your code? is that lisp routine?


Thanks.

I would do a google for drawing cad structural beams, I know what happens next and that is the other 22 options that you would like. Hence doing this type of work there are commercial packages available. There speed of creating soon out ways the purchase cost. Depending on where you are in the world you should find something.

Hi Friend,
I dont need such type of software and tasks. i need only develop Simple Longitudinal sections only.

Thanks!!
