Indication of altitude - example

The following example demonstrates the application of indications of altitude.

1st step: Draw your elevation or sectional drawing:

2nd step: Call the program indications of altitude (Toolbox SYSCAD Programs - Symbol )

The following context menu is displayed at the current cursor position.

Use the option NEW BASE to define the base point of height levels.

Select block or elevation, Return for input: Click onto a profile in the elevation

Factor <1.0>:SYSCAD calculates the dimensioning factor

Select point to be dimensioned: Click onto the bottom right intersection point with activated object snap

Endpoint of leading line: self-explanatory

Base dimension: 0 Enter value

The result should be the following drawing:

Use the option DIMENSION to define further height level dimensioning:

Select point to be dimensioned: select point with object snap

Endpoint of leading line: click to a point or press RETURN for automatic alignment to base point

Height level dimension <1046.0>

Follow this procedure to draw the further dimensions. In case there is more than one BASE POINT in your drawing, you are asked for the corresponding BASE DIMENSION of each DIMENSION. Just click on the BASE DIMENSION.

The option ALTER DIMENSION is used to redefine existing height level dimensioning. Click on the dimension and overwrite the value. All other dimensions associated to this height level group are altered accordingly.

The command ALTER FACTOR is used to modify the dimensioning factor manually. It is necessary, for instance after manually scaling a sectional drawing or elevation by means of the command VARIA.

The command SCALE FACTOR is used to adapt the size of height levels. According to the size of the height level block the height level is scaled with a factor.

The command MIRROR mirrors the height levels at the leading line.

The option DELETE deletes the height level dimensioning. If you select the base dimension you are asked as a precaution, if you really want to delete the complete height level group.
