create command

Syntax

sketch shape create keyword

Creates a tunnel or slope cross-section.

Tunnel Cross-Sections

Tunnel cross-sections include:

tunnel-circle keyword

Creates a circular tunnel cross-section.

tunnel-rectangle keyword

Creates a rectangular tunnel cross-section.

tunnel-vertical-wall keyword

Creates a tunnel cross-section with vertical side walls.

tunnel-double-arch keyword

Creates a tunnel cross-section composed of two arches.

tunnel-horseshoe-3-arch keyword

Creates a horseshoe-shaped tunnel cross-section defined by three circular arcs.

tunnel-horseshoe-5-arch keyword

Creates a horseshoe-shaped tunnel cross-section defined by five circular arcs.

Tunnel cross-sections are created at a specified center location and can be generated as either full or half cross-sections. The available keywords are:

center v

Specifies the center location of the tunnel cross-section.

full-section b

Specifies whether a full (true) or half (false) cross-section is created.

Slope Cross-Sections

Slope cross-sections include:

slope-simple keyword

Creates a cross-section of a basic (single) slope.

slope-1-bench keyword

Creates a slope cross-section with one bench.

slope-2-bench keyword

Creates a slope cross-section with two benches.

slope-3-bench keyword

Creates a slope cross-section with three benches.

slope-open-pit keyword

Creates a cross-section of an open-pit or of a slope with multiple benches.

slope-dam keyword

Creates a dam cross-section.

Slope cross-sections are created at a specified origin location. By the default, the downstream side is located on the left. The orientation can be reversed, and internal construction lines can optionally be included. The available keywords are:

origin v

Specifies the origin location of the slope cross-section.

reverse b

Controls the slope cross-section orientation. By default (false), the downstream side is located on the left. When true, the cross-section is reversed and the downstream side is located on the right.

internal b

Specifies whether internal construction lines are included in the cross-section.

Usage Example

sketch shape create tunnel-circle radius 5

sketch shape create tunnel-rectangle width 5 height 4

sketch shape create slope-2-bench origin 0 0 reverse true
