3D-Polylinien verbinden
Command
line:
GT_3DJ
Joins 3D segments (lines or polylines) and combines them into a 3D polyline. The
PEDIT command does not allow joining of 3D segments. This command fills the need by allowing the
Join subcommand to be applied on 3D polyline segments or lines. The segments to be joined must be exactly touching each other.
Once the command has been issued, the prompts that follow are similar to the PEDIT command. You are prompted to select
polylines. If a line has been selected, you are prompted to convert it into a polyline. Then you select the objects to join. All touching segments are joined to the first segment resulting in a joined 3D Polyline.
Select 3d polylines/lines to join (or ENTER to select by layer[s]):
Select objects: (do so)
If you are selecting
multiple layers for processing, GT_3DJ will join them individually in their
respective layers. They will not be joined across different layers except if
they are selected explicitly from the command line. The layer dialog box
selector option therfore processes the objects layer by layer.

Tool Set 1 2D nach 3D
Command
line: GT_CH2D3D
Converts all the selected 2D Polylines to 3D polylines. A 3D polyline can hold different Z values in each of its vertex. The new 3D polylines thus formed will look exactly like the 2D polylines except that internally they are 3D and therefore can hold Z values.
The standard object selection dialog appears and allows polylines and lines to be selected. Click Apply and the all the 2D polylines are converted into 3D polylines. The original 2D polyline will be erased.
Tech Info: GT_CH2D3D changes the DXF Group Code 70 of each polyline, adds the 8 bit and recreates a 3D polyline. The 3D polyline thus created has the 3D flag set. The 3D polyline acquires new handles but any extended entity data in the 2D polyline will be transferred to the 3D
polyline.

Command
line: GT_CONTLABEL
The GT_CONTLABEL command places labels along polylines, lines, arcs
and splines. This was written with the intention of providing a tool for contour
labeling but you can use it to label just about anything that is a linear
object. For the label, you can use the elevation of the object or you can
specify a user string to be placed as a label. Apart from contours, other
possible uses of this tools could be to label roads, fences, boundaries,
traverses etc.

What to label?
Elevation:
Check this option to label the elevation information
of the polyline
User String: Check this option to enter a user-defined string value that
is used to annotate along the polyline.
Curve Length: Check this option to label the length of contour.
Text
Orientation
Always upright:
Check this option to create labels that are always
face up. This cause any text that is between rotation angles of 90 and 270
degrees AutoCAD-wise to be flipped by 180 degrees.
Always aligned: Check this option to create labels which are always
aligned to the direction of the line. This can result in inverted text.
Text spacing
Repeated:
Checking this option causes GT_CONTLABEL to place the labels
repeatedly along the line at an interval specified in Annotation Distance (see
below)
At picked point: Checking this option allows the user to manually pick
points on the line where the annotation is desired. This option does not place
annotations automatically and does so only at the picked point.
At cutting line locations: Checking this option allows the user to
specify two points that define a line and the program will generate annotations
at every intersection of the line with the selected contour polyline objects.
At mid-point of curve: Checking this option places the label at the mid
of the contour.
Other annotation parameters
Text Style:
Select the text style to use for the annotation.
Text Height: Specify
the text height to use for annotation.
Annotation Spacing: Specify
the annotation distance between labels when the Repeated Option above is
chosen.
Annotation Label String: Specify the text label to be used if the User
String option above is chosen.
Label Layer:
Displays the
selected layer name.
Select:

Command
line: GT_OLEN2PNT
GT_0LEN2PNT converts all zero length objects into Points so that they can be easily
identified and handled. The program accepts both lines, polylines and 3dfaces.
Often, because of a programming error or an improper import from other CAD
systems or during processing of 3dface information for modeling purposes, zero length lines,
polylines and 3dfaces get created. These objects are mostly redundant and do not
contribute to the data in any way. On the other hand, they use up precious
computing resources and slow down processing. Such geometry may also lead to the
failure of certain processing commands. To overcome all these problems, this command
has been created to help identify such objects meaningfully by converting them into AutoCAD Point
objects so that they can later be accessed and dealt with as appropriate.
The standard object selection dialog box appears and allows the selection of polylines,
lines and 3dfaces.
Each zero length polyline, line or 3dface object is replaced with a POINT object whose elevation is the average of
all vertices.
Tech Info: The points created will acquire new handles but any extended entity data in the source objects will be transferred to the points.

Command
line: GT_FLIP
Reverses the direction of the polyline vertices. This command preserves the handle
(see below for conditions) as well as any extended entity data that is stored with the polyline or with each or any of its vertices (in case of heavy weight polylines).

Direction Control:
Clockwise:
Choosing this option flips all counter-clockwise polylines
and makes them clockwise in direction.
CounterClockwise:
Choosing this option flips all clockwise polylines and
makes them counter-clockwise in direction.
Interchange: Reverses the direction of all selected polylines irrespective of
whether they are clockwise or counterclockwise.
Interchange:
Reverses the direction of the polyline irrespective of the direction. Clockwise
polylines become CounterClockwise and vice-versa.
Low to High Z:
Reverses the direction of the polylines whose last vertex elevation (Z value) is
higher than the first vertex elevation (Z value).
High to Low Z:
Reverses the direction of the polylines whose last vertex elevation (Z value) is
lower than the first vertex elevation (Z value).
Display graphically:
Displays the polyline graphically direction by drawing leader arrows along the
polyline segments. Does not do any direction reversing.
Retain same object handle for reversed polylines:
Choosing this option
ensures that the reversed polylines have the same handle as the original
polyline. This takes longer time to process and it does not work on polylines
having arc segments. The object handle is always preserved for 3d polylines
irrespective of whether the option above is chosen or not. The option above
makes a difference only for 2d polylines in which the object handles are not
preserved unless this option is set. Switching this option off can greatly
improve the process speed especially for long polylines.
Hide dialog box and run GT_FLIP with current
settings next time:
Choosing this option causes GT_FLIP to run the next time without dialog
box. You will be prompted to only select the polylines to flip and the program
operates with the current settings as last set. This setting enables users to
run the command quickly without having to navigate through the dialog box each
time. The setting remains in place for the current AutoCAD session unless it is
reset using the 'GT_ShowDlg' command.
Tech Info: The extended entity data in the objects will
always be retained.

line: GT_DENSIFY
This command can be used to add extra vertices into polylines, i.e. 2D or 3D based on a
"Number of segments" and "Length of segment"

Densify Method
Number of segments: Densifies or adds vertices with specified number of
segments.
Length of segment: Densifies or adds vertices with specified length i.e.
distance between each vertices.
Tech Info: GT_Densify will not work on polylines consisting any arc segments in them. Such polylines will be ignored by the
GT_Densify command and must be pre-processed using other tools in this command before they can be
densified.

Command
line: GT_DISTANGWEED
This command can be used to eliminate redundant vertices in a polyline by
weeding out vertices that fall closer than a specified value or those segments
that deflect within a given angular value. There is also an option to
create a point object at every location where a vertex was weeded.

Weed vertices closer than this value [drawing units]:
Enter the linear tolerance parameter here. This is specified in drawing
units. Any two consecutive vertices that are closer (nearer) than this value
will result in the second vertex to be removed.
Weed if deflection angle is
within this value [degrees]:
Enter the angular tolerance parameter value here. This is specified in
degrees. Create
marker at every weeded location:
Checking this box creates a POINT object marker at every vertex location that
was weeded. This helps in identifying the locations where the weeding took
place.
Weed criteria
Distances Only:
Checking this option causes weeding based on distance
criteria only. Angular deflection criteria is not applied in this case.
Deflection angle only:
Checking this option causes weeding based on
deflection angle criteria only. Diatcne checked between the vertices is not
applied in this case.
Apply both criteria:
Checking this option causes weeding based on both
distances and deflection angle criteria.
Measure distances in:
Slope:
Checking this option
causes all distance measurements to be slope distances (actual distance).
Horizontal: Checking this option causes all distance measurements to be
horizontally projected distances.
Tech Info:
Polylines containing ARC segments will be weeded based on their inter-vertex straight line lengths and NOT the actual arc distances. Therefore, results may sometimes be not as desired in areas where arc segments exist. You may want to convert the arc segmented polylines to linear segmented polylines using the
GT_PLARC2PL
command.

The KINK command detects and highlights kinks in polylines. Now, what is a kink? A kink is a "knot" or a "back
twist". In polylines, any segment which intersects other segments in the same polylines causes a kink. The KINK command
helps identify these intersection points so that remedial action can be taken. The kink can then be removed with the Pedit
or GeoTools Express Pedit command XV. The kink intersection is highlighted as point objects in
a temporary layer.
Note: Polylines which have kinks will fail when used as selection boundaries in the ESELECT command.

GT_SET_Z_PL
Often, you may have polylines in which some vertices have a zero [0.0] elevation while others have non-zero
elevations. This command sets the Z values of those zero elevation vertices to the nearest non-zero vertex elevation value. The command scans through the polyline and seeks a non-zero value nearest to it and assigns it to the vertex. Thus, at the end of the command run, there will not be any polyline vertices, which are of 0.0 elevation. Therefore, this command is best used when you are sure that there should not be any legal vertex elevation of 0.0 anywhere along the polyline. If the elevation of the first point is zero, then the elevation of the next suitable vertex is taken.

Cumulative Distances from start:
The cumulative slope distance from the first vertex is computed and
written next to each vertex (the initial starting distance can be set by the
user).
Prefix Options:
Prefix with X=, Y=, Z= Choosing this option places the prefixes, X=, Y=,
Z= before each coordinate value
Prefix with E=, N=, H= Choosing this option places the prefixes, E=, N=,
H= before each coordinate value
No prefix (co-cordinates only) No prefixes are written, only co-ordinates
values are written
Prefix with M=, P=, H= Choosing this option places the prefixes, M=, P=,
H= before each coordinate value. This is Portuguese notation for Easting
and Northing.
Label first and last points only:
Places labels on the first and last points of polylines only. Useful if the
polyline is too dense and you do not want lables at every point.
Reset vertex numbering every line/polyline:
Starts vertex numbering from the specified start value every polyline or line.
If this option is not checked, vertex numbering continues incrementing across

Gradients: (0.000g) Writes the whole circle bearing in gradients (One
gradient=1/400th of a circle)
Slope label format:
As percentage:
Choosing this option causes the grade annotation to be created as a
percentage. for example, uphill grades are created as "2% Up"
and downhill grades are created as "2% Down".
As decimal:
Choosing this option causes the grade annotation to be created as a decimal.
For example, uphill grade will be created as "1:50 Up" and
downhill grade will be created as "1:50 Down".
Direction:
Choosing this option causes the strings "Up" or "Down"
to be written along the segment depending on whether the slope is going
downwards or upwards.
Degrees:
Choosing this option causes the slope values in degrees to be annotated next
to the segment.
Precision for grade value: Enter the number of decimal places to be used
in the precision for grade values.
Treat polyline as elevation value: If this option is checked, the
polyline is treated as an elevation view (or long/cross section as called in
some countries) and the segment slope annotation is done accordingly. In
elevation view, the polyline is assumed to be drawn in the Z plane.
Annotation Position:
Along Segment: Choosing this option places the annotation text
along the direction of the segment.
Perpendicular to segment: Choosing this option places the
annotation text perpendicular to the direction of the segment being annotated.
The next two options further specify the annotation text placement positions by
specifying if the annotation is along the segment, above or below it. For Perpendicular
to segment option above, The Above, Below and On Segment option in this
section will be grayed out.
Above Segment: The annotation will be placed above the segment.
For the purpose of direction, the segment is imagined from its start point to
end point as a horizontal X-axis, and the the space above it is considered as
the Above Space and vice versa.
Below Segment: The annotation will be placed below the segment.
For the purpose of direction, the segment is imagined from it start point to end
point as a horizontal X-axis, and the the space above it is considered as the
Above Space and vice versa.
On Segment: The annotation will be placed on and along the

line: GT_DRAPEPOLY
The GT_DRAPEPOLY command can be used to drape a set
of 3d polylines (source objects) over a set of intersecting linear objects
(target objects). Upon draping, this command creates vertices all along the
source objects (3d polylines) where
they intersect the target linear objects.

Select source objects:
(do so) - allows a
filtered selection of 3d polylines only
Select target objects:
(do so) - allows a
filtered selection of linear objects like lines, polylines (both 2d and 3d),
arcs and splines.
After GT_DRAPEPOLY runs, there will be new vertices
created on the source polylines at every point where they intersect the target
objects. If the intersecting objects are 3d, their 3d intersection value will be
computed and used.
