Re: Elevating polylines The current data model and rendering code for polylines only handle the x-y coordinates, so the Advanced editing plugin can't do much, the improvement must come from the core of application. The Wirings plugin overcome this limitation by extending the data model with a new type of object (i.e. the "Wiring") and a dedicated renderer, but of course this new data type can be displayed only if the plugin is installed, while the Advanced editing is only required when you need to edit, not for visualization. Unfortunately the Wirings plugin cannot be extended with the elevation feature, because the editing system can handle the points only if they lay on a surface, and placing them within a volume (either in mid air or in the concrete) would break the system. In regards to the standard polylines, since the elevation of the polylines can be changed using a dedicated level, I don't know if adding the elevation feature to the polylines is worth the effort, but the last word belongs to Emmanuel Puybaret. It should be possible to enhance the standard polylines writing a dedicated plugin, but as for the wirings, the elevation would be applied only if the plugin is installed: opening the file on another installation of SH3D which hasn't this plugin would show the polilines at their level's elevation. |
