Terramodel 10.13 TML List

Introduction

This is the Geocomp Systems list of TML commands in the International English language installation of Trimble Terramodel 10.13 with the Geocomp Update. The commands are the same with the US English, Spanish, French and German language installations, but the dialogs and documentation will be different.

TMLs can be selected at the Terramodel command prompt and may also be assigned to menus, toolbars, workspaces or function keys. Look through this list of over 400 TMLs from various sources. There's a good chance that you'll find a helpful TML that you didn't know about but already have.

Look through the alphabetical list or use your browser's Edit... Find to look for keywords.

Once you have identified a command in the list that you want to know more about, click on the name to go directly to the details. At the end of each description is a table showing, where known, the date last modified, page in a manual, menu location and source of the TML.

The GEOCOMP column is a guide to help Geocomp users find equivalent functions in Terramodel.

Click here to update this list. See the TML List Archive for previous versions.

A good way to print this list is via PDF.

Detailed Description

This table describes the operation and scope of each listed command. See also Terramodel Help.

These details refer to Terramodel 10.13 with International English language and Geocomp Update, so the terminology and operation may vary from your release. Using ALIAS you may call a TML using any name and thus in any language.

At the end of each description, a short table shows the following information where available:

The approximate date the TML was last updated (in dd/mm/yy format)
A Terramodel manual and page number where the command is documented (More info...)
Where to find it (in the default Terramodel menu installed with the Geocomp Update)
Where to get the TML (More info...)

Click on the name to return to the list above.

Commands used in the Hydro and Pipe menus have been omitted from this list. Refer to Terramodel help and manuals for these.

NAME

DETAILS

Compute points offset from a selected alignment.

Create a set in the current layer connecting points offset from an alignment. The default horizontal and vertical offsets may be set to non-zero values.

The point elevations are computed from a vertical profile with the same name as the horizontal alignment, if it exists.

Filter superfluous points from a DTM.

This is useful for filtering point clouds generated by laser scanners such as Callidus, Cyrax and I-SiTE, and other large DTMs, where much of the data is not significant.

Recolours points on spikes, points on similar grade and points where removal would make insignificant changes to the volume.

These points are marked so they are no longer in the DTM. See GC53 for control of this attribute.

To reduce the size of the DTM, select these points by the changed colour and delete.

See also FILTER to reduce vertices along a pline, BLFILTER to reduce points along a breakline set. GC31 removes duplicate points. GCGEOCODE is a separate application, which can quickly filter of DTM points not close to the average surface model.

ADD2TXT

Add prefix or suffix to selected text.

A common use is to add parentheses around text.

Extended text objects with more than 255 characters are not supported.

04/04/03 U

ADDISO

Add the depth indicated by an isopach layer to the points contained within a DTM layer.

Select the DTM and isopach layers. The program determines the depth of the isopach at the location of each point on the DTM surface, and adds that depth to the elevation of those points. If the DTM point is beyond the limits of the isopach layers DTM edge, the point's elevation is unchanged.

Adjust a lot to match a particular area.

Create and edit aliases used by Terramodel.

Use this to call functions from command line, icon or workspace by different names.

ALIAS edits the alias file, so you can add or modify the command list. You can also use a text editor.

The alias file can be nominated in TMODWIN.INI, otherwise Terramodel uses the first ALIAS.INI in the Terramodel Search Path (TSP), and failing that the ALIAS.INI in the Locale subfolder for the default for the installed language. You can make your own for a local language, dialect, idiom or standard.

ALIAS allows you to enter a familiar command for different software, and have Terramodel execute the equivalent. For example, typing z or w at the command line may execute Zoom.

In another example, Geocomp users often enter 17 to find the 3D vector between points. In the Geocomp release, 17=gc29 in the alias file means entering 17 will execute GC29 for a similar result.

Some commands have arguments. For example, zo=magnify 0.5 zooms out or you could make a toolbox with eight directional buttons calling aliases such as vpanleft=VPAN 7 1.

Use EXEC to execute an external command (with optional parameters). For example, GST. The maximum argument in an alias is 66 characters. If you need to exceed this, see RUN.

An alias takes precedence over a command with the same name. This lets you redirect attempts to use a command to some other preferred equivalent. See for example F8T and GC3PTARC. You can't alias to an alias, but you can copy the command and arguments using ALIAS.

Import the vertices of alignments from an ASCII text file.

These alignments can be HAL, VAL or SLOPE alignments. You can include the radii for horizontal curves or vertical curve lengths for profile and slope profiles. It can also adjust the profiles for a baseline with chainage equations.

The current view determines whether you get a HAL (for PLAN) or VAL (for PROFILE) or SLOPE (for SUPER).

Browse or enter the filename.

The Settings button controls the Name, Color, and Linetype for the alignment created.

The check box "Adjust for HAL Equations", allows you to select the registered HAL from which to extract chainage equations.

The ASCII file is typically exported from a spreadsheet.

06/06/03 U

ALIGNOFF

Import chainages and offsets from an ASCII text file.

Read an ASCII text file that contains the chainages and alignment offsets for a horizontal alignment.

Use the Browse button to select the comma-delimited (.csv or .txt) file that contains your chainages & offsets.
Pick the Pline or Set that you want to use for the registered HAL.
Enter a name to use to register the HAL under. The default is the filename.

Warning: This will overwrite any already-registered HAL with the same name.

The ASCII file is typically exported from a spreadsheet.

ANG

Report angle-right between points.

Reports the horizontal angle at an instrument point subtended to the right from the backsight point to the foresight point.

Gives similar answers to LABELANG.

Draw a pline arc from any three parameters.

Chose one of 10 Types of arc, for example "Start, Center, End" or "3 Point".

ARC defaults to the last Type used.

If you need Sets, use the CONVERT command to change the Plines to Sets, or use GCARC.

The arc is drawn from the first point to the last point.

If a radius is used, a negative radius will draw the arc on the right-hand side.

Create an arc pline by two locations and a radius.

The arc is drawn anti-clockwise to the left of the locations.

Use a negative radius to draw the arc on the right-hand side.

Create an arc set by two points and the radius.

The arc is drawn from the first point to the second point.

Use a negative radius to draw the arc on the right-hand side.

Create breaklines along the arc segments of all sets on a designated DTM layer.

Create points at regular intervals along the arc and connect a set from the existing first TP to each of the new points and finally to the end TP of the arc. The number of chords created is based on a specified maximum middle ordinate value which indicates the maximum allowable deviation from the true arc that each Breaklines chord may produce. The actual deviation will be less than or equal to this value.

The elevation of each point is interpolated along the arc from the elevations of the points at the arc TPs. If either TP has an undefined elevation, Breaklines will not be formed along that arc, and a warning message will be issued in the message area.

The new sets are named SETARCBL so they can be selected separately from the arcs.

BGELEV

Create an elevation view of points.

Copy selected points into an "Elevation" drawing in View 6.

The position of the point along the selected Baseline determines the horizontal position in View 6, while the Z coordinate of the Point determines the vertical position in View 6.

The points in View 6 are placed on the same layer that the points were originally placed on in the Plan View.

The points in View 6 are given an alphanumeric identifier (point number). If the baseline has a Name, then this name and the original identifier are combined to create the identifier for the point in View 6. If the baseline does not have a name, a (2) is combined with the original identifier to create the identifier for the point in View 6.

Max Alpha Points must be set in SYSTEM to a large enough number.

Create a pline with right angles.

The kerb return has four segments with vertical curves.

The beginning and ending chainage and grade are computed from the centreline of the street.

20/05/02 RG 572 Cogo/Streets/CDSProf S

CENVIEW

Recentre views based on chainage.

Ideal for working along a long narrow alignment such as a road, rail or pipe.

For any selected roadjob, nominate a chainage by selecting a location in the plan, profile, super or xsect views. The plan, profile and super views, if open, are recentred on the horizontal or vertical alignment at the selected chainage. The active chainage is set to the nearest cross section, and the Xsect view is fitted to the data.

If the selected view is the Xsect, the active chainage is used, if set.

The match button uses the centre of the active plan, profile or super view to recentre the other views. If the profile view is active, the plan and super views are scaled to fit the chainage range.

There are buttons to zoom in or out by 25%, to fit data in all four views, and to move to the next or previous chainage then making it active.

On starting this option, the views are horizontally tiled.

CF2SUPER

Compute superelevation from existing crossfall.

For every point in a centreline set, compute the crossfall perpendicular to the HAL from the centreline to left and right edge-of-road sets. These crossfalls are placed in the Super view on the current layer so you can design to match existing superelevation.

Xlines are ignored as these are not interpolated linearly.

CHNGTEXT

Replace selected text based on a dictionary.

This sample dictionary shows the format:

#Dictionary file format
# Lines with first char as # are ignored
#  use ' character as limiter
#'Current Text','New Text'
#
#'English','Espanol'
'Feasibility Study','Estudio de factibilidad'
'Road design','D seño decarretera'
'North','Norte'
'Cross-Section','Corte'
#
#'English','Francais'
'CHAINAGE','PK'
'CH','PK'
'SCALES','ECHELLE'
'SCALE','ECHELLE'
'Scale','Echelle'
'LONGITUDINAL SECTION','Profil en Long'
'CROSS SECTIONS','Profil en Travers'
'OFFSET','Distance du centre'

Note that the changes are processed in dictionary file order, so be careful. If, in the example, 'CH' replaced was before 'CHAINAGE', you would get 'PKAINAGE', not 'PK'.

If the new text is a different length, you can match the text width attributes to suit.

You can also refer to characters by their three-digit decimal ASCII value. For example, \010 for new line and \176 for degree sign. What you see depends on the font. Not all fonts contain all characters. For example, in some fonts degree sign is \127. In fonts such as symbol.fnt, you can specify a symbol by this method.

Report chainage, offset and height difference from DTM.

Given a HAL, a Design DTM, and some points, this TML reports the Point Number, Chainage, Offset, Point Elevation, Design DTM Elevation, Elevation Difference and Name in a table.
