Hi,

i am currently getting started with WinProp and I ran into an issue.

I managed to create a tunnel geometry and I successfully expoted it.

Now when i open it in ProMan the tunnel does not look like the one i planned in TuMan at all.

Anybody have n idea whats the issue here? Why does the crossection I assigned to the segments not stay the same?

 

Greetings

    Hi,

    thanks for sharing your example, based on which it was possible to analyse the situation.

    There are some errors and warnings reported at the export of the tunnel geometry in TuMan, which indicate the problem in the version 2022.3.

    Using the 2022.1.3 version of TuMan there are no such errors and warnings reported and the exported tunnel geometry looks correct in WallMan, please find attached the .idb file.

    Please use this version in the meantime while our development team will have fixed this problem for one of the next updates.

    Thanks and best regards

    Hi,
    from the pictures you have shared the tunnel tracks in TuMan and ProMan look similar. For such long tunnels the cross section is only visible after zooming in.
    Did you check the created tunnel geometry in WallMan (or ProMan) using the 3D view?
    If this will not help, please attach your tunnel files (.tub and the exported .idb), so that we can have a look.

    Thanks and best regards

    Hi,

    thanks for the quick reply. I did look at the tunnel in 3D view. The tunnel portals seem to get infinitely thin at most ends. I cant figure out why. I attatched the files in a zip archive. 

    Thanks and best regards

     

    edit: apparently only the crossestions of tunnels running horizontally get messed up. If i create a tunnel that only runs vertically it looks fine

    Thank you! Using TuMan in version 2022.1.3 worked.
