Once again trying to figure out TBC commands after using Terramodel for 22 years. Can't find this one but it is surely there.
Need to put in a pipe on a 19 deg skew left at station 1005+69 on an alignment running south 32 deg E. How do you do it?
After reading that, it looks simple. However, I need to be able to select the bearing of the CL without knowing what it is and calculating the new bearing by hand.

Im not sure I am understanding the question, but maybe this will get you going in the right direction. In HCE, under the cad tab, there is a drop down next to the create point icon. Pull it down and maybe what you are trying to do is in there?
Ive got 8 miles of roadway with a hundred pipe on it, some cross drains, some median draains. Some are skewed, some are not. I need to create the pipe end points and line for staking or machine file. PIpe sheets show CL station, skew, length left and right, elevation at each end. In Terramodel if alignment is created, steps are Cogo/point by station to create cl point. Then Cogo/traverse/. pick alignment for BS, turn angle right or left from that, put in distance and there's the point. Figured out a way to do it in TBC but it's twice as many key strokes.
TBC is not a replacement to Terra Model. I don't care what the salesman said.:bored: My 2 cents, Jp
I don't have all the modules for TBC. It looks like to me that all the functions are there though. When you are in a point entry box and right click all the COGO things are available
I can't do alignments (no license) but can do it for polylines. Create Polyline, then right click in the next point box, Select Offset then the Offset Segment Snap, Pick the line, enter the distance and offset and OK and you have your starting point, Right click in the next point box and select Bearing Distance Snap, right click in the Bearing box and select Bearing + Angle Snap, right click in the Bearing box and select one of the options say Bearing of Segment Snap and it inserts the bearing of the reference line, then in the Angle box enter the angle to add and then in the Distance box the distance and then click OK.
It probably is more clicks than Terramodel but the right clicks should go fast. I've just barley started the learning journey here, there might be a better faster way.
I think they are finally getting close. It's a whole new program though with a lot of things Terrmodel never had. The more complex a program is the harder it is to master.

That's what we came up with, but it is sure a lot more effort than Terramodel. Would also like to be able to just hit the spacebar to repeat the previous command like Terramodel does.
