Tools / Set point weights
Set point weights command can be used to specify weights for the vertices of the line string. The weights are used in the component fitting process. You can define separate weights for the horizontal and vertical geometries.
The default weight or a vertex is 1.0. If the components should follow some vertices more closely, set the weight of these vertices to a value larger than 1.0. To decrease the weight of the vertices for the fitting process, set the weight to a value smaller than 1.0. Weight values must be larger than 0.0.
The weights are drawn as text elements into the CAD file. Only manually set weight values are drawn, the default weight of 1.0 is not drawn.
To set the weight of a vertex:
1. Select the filtered survey string using MicroStation Selection tool.
2. Select Set point weights command from the Tools pulldown menu.
3. Move the mouse pointer close to the line string. The vertex closest to the mouse pointer is highlighted by a small circle.
4. Select a vertex with a data click. You can select several vertices by pressing the <Ctrl> key while selecting a vertex.
This opens the Set point weights dialog:
5. Define the weight value for the selected vertex (vertices) in the Weight field.
6. Click OK.
The weight values are written into the CAD file next to the filtered survey vector. They are drawn as MicroStation text elements on the level defined in Component fitting / Levels category of TerraScan Settings. Weights of vertices for a vertical geometry are also displayed in the profile window.
