Question

Dynamic Section Callout

by

Created in GenerativeComponents Forum

Hi all,


I work within the rail sector and have a question regarding Generative Components and Section Callouts (to create 2D cross-sections from a 3D model).

Example:
Lets say that I have a straight railway track that extends 200 meters. 

I have designed in Microstation Connect - an Overhead Wiring Mast/Gantry spaced every 25 meters

Can i reference the above example in to Generative Components, and place a Section Callout that corresponds to every OHW gantry - So if i decided to edit the Microstation model and decrease the spacing to 10 meters for instance, the Section Callout in GC will update and in turn, update the cross sections accordingly? 

The reason for this is so that the ground profiles and track levels will update automatically



Thanks,
