DesignSeries00090.pngCreating Loci from a Grade Object

Command

Workspace: Path

Create 3D Loci at Grade Points

        Designer: AEC > Terrain

        Landmark: Landmark

One or more grade objects can be used to place 3D loci on the current layer. The 3D loci can then be used to create stake objects or a site model (Vectorworks Architect or Landmark required).

To create 3D loci from stake object elevations:

  1. Select one or more grade objects.

  2. Select the command.

The Create 3D Loci at Grade Points command is available for Vectorworks Architect and Spotlight software but is not present in the those workspaces. It can be added to the Architect and Spotlight workspaces (see Customizing Workspaces).

A 3D locus is placed at the ends of each selected grade object. The Z-value of the loci match the associated elevation of the grade start or end point.
