Check file settings

Settings to be used in file checking. The checking is done either by separate check function or automatically always before triangulation. Settings are given separately in each case.

In the file check before triangulation same settings are forced to constant values. Arcs are newer allowed in triangulation and checks are made for all surfaces and feature codes. Same points are allowed, because they have no effect on terrain model structure.

Check coding, Allow Empty surfaces, Allow all surfaces

Searches codes and surfaces not found in the code file. Empty surfaces or all surfaces can be allowed by separate settings.

If separate control file is given, correct point/line coding and surface/code matching are checked according to it. If the control file is not given or it is asterisk (*), same information is searched from the current code file code definitions. Surface check skips six number infra-surfaces.

Control file defines one code on each line and uses following format: code type surfaces description. Code can contain wildcards * and ?. Type contains character P for points and/or V for lines. Surfaces contains comma separated list of allowed surface codes. Description is optional.

Example:

 10    P   1,2  Korkeuskiintopiste
 11    P   1,2  Korkeustukipiste
 12    P   1,2  Apupiste
 20    V   1,2  Apuviiva
 83    P   9    Kiskokosketin
 88    P   9    Vaihteenkosketin
 89    P   9    Varmistuslukko
 120   V   1    Tien reuna
 121   V   1    Tien keskilinja

Compare all surfaces

Compares all points and lines regardless their surface code. By default only same surface points are compared.

Check surface 9

Checks also surface 9 points.

Allow zero heights

Allows undefined or zero heights.

Allow arcs

Allows arcs in the file. Arcs are not allowed in the check made before triangulation.

Check same lines

Searches equal lines and line sections. If whole lines are identical, only one error is generated. Otherwise separate error is generated from each identical line section. Line point horizontal distance is must be less than point-point distance and height difference less than height difference setting.

Allow same points

Allows points with exactly same coordinates. These kind of points cause no problems in terrain model generation.

Section lengths

Allowed minimum and maximum length for line sections. Check is made only if the maximum is greater than the minimum.

Point heights

Allowed minimum and maximum height for points. Check is made only if the maximum is greater than the minimum.

Point-point distance

Horizontal comparison distance between points.

Point-line distance

Horizontal comparison distance between point and line.

Height difference

Allowed height difference in comparison.

Skip codes

Comma separated list of codes skipped in the distance check. The check is skipped only if both compared objects have code that is found from the list. The setting is usable, for example, with curbs. Codes cannot be skipped in the check made before triangulation.

Copy

Copies settings from the file checking or triangulation depending on current location.

Import, Export

Reads or writes settings to file.


Special settings

There are some special settings related to this function.

CheckFlag

1 No crossing lines check. Skips crossing breaklines checking.

2 No code file checks. Skips all code file checks.
