Read / Paint lines
Read / Paint lines command reads text files that have been created in an automatic vectorization process for linear paint markings on a road surface. It is used to draw the paint markings as 3D line string elements into the CAD file. See Find paint lines macro action for more information about the creation of paint line text files.
The line string elements are drawn on the active level using the active symbology settings of the CAD file.
After drawing the paint lines into the CAD file, they should be checked with the help of, for example, the Inspect Elements tool of TerraScan or the Validate linear elements tool of TerraModeler.
To read lines for paint markings into the CAD file:
1. Select Read / Paint lines command from the Tools pulldown menu.
This opens the Paint line files dialog, a standard dialog for opening files.
2. Select paint line text files and click Open.
This opens the Read Paint Lines dialog:
3. Define a minimum length value and click OK.
This reads the text files and draws the paint lines into the CAD file.
