1. Basic Functions ^
All the tasks that have been created for the project will be listed at the bottom of the tab.
Grid-Based Task ^
In this box, the user can create a new grid-based calculation task.
To create a new task, the user must insert a name for the task in the "NAME" bar. This name will represent the task in Infrakit.
From the "FOLDER" drop-down bar, the user can select the folder where the task will be created.
In the "CELL WIDTH (METERS)" section, the user can define the width of an individual cell in the grid by sliding the knob in the slider or inserting a value in the bar.
In the "ROTATION" section, the user can define the rotation of an individual cell in the grid by sliding the knob in the slider or inserting a value in the bar.
From the "CALCULATION LAYER *" drop-down bar, the user can select the theoretical target surface for the excavation work.
From the "REFERENCE LAYER *" drop-down bar, the user can select the measured current surface or starting state for the excavation work.
From the "Limit layer" drop-down bar, the user can select a surface that represents the actualized excavation, which differs from the calculation layer that has been selected. For example, this can be used in a case where bed rock has been reached before the theoretical excavation depth.
By clicking the "Add" button, a new task will be created in the selected folder.
By clicking the "< Close" button, the side window will be closed without creating a task.
After the "Add" button has been clicked, a task module will be created. The user can activate the task module from the folder where the task has been created.
When clicking the module, the grid will be visualized on the map with the models used in the calculations.
By clicking "Calculate", the user can execute the mass calculation. The calculation will be conducted square-based, and individual square masses can be observed by hovering the cursor over a specific square.
The mass calculation can be observed as a table on the "Masses" page, as described in the section "Grid-Based Calculation".
By clicking "Check Completion", the user can retrieve the latest measured log points and update the "Cut completed" and "Fill completed" sections in the map view. The "Total Completion Percentage" and the "COMPLETED CUT" and "COMPLETED FILL" columns in the "Masses" page will also be updated.
By clicking "Edit", the same side window will open as when "+ Grid" is clicked, and the user can modify the inputted information.
By clicking "Export grid DXF", the user can download the grid as a DXF file to the local storage.
By clicking "Delete", the user can delete the task.
By checking "Show labels", the user can determine if the individual square labels will be visible on the map. These labels match the corresponding row in the "Masses" page.
Model-Based Task ^
To create a new task, the user must insert a name for the task in the "NAME" bar. This name will represent the task in Infrakit.
From the "FOLDER" drop-down bar, the user can select the folder where the task will be created.
In the "STATION START" bar, the user can define the starting station for the mass calculation from the selected alignment.
In the "STATION END" bar, the user can define the end station for the mass calculation from the selected alignment.
In the "STATION INTERVAL" bar, the user can determine the interval used in mass calculation along the selected alignment. This determines the interval of the generated cross-sections.
From the "Alignment" drop-down bar, the user can select the alignment that will be used in the mass calculation.
From the "Calculation layer" drop-down bar, the user can select the theoretical target surface for the excavation work.
From the "Reference layer" drop-down bar, the user can select the measured current surface or starting state for the excavation work.
From the "Limit layer" drop-down bar, the user can select a surface that represents the actualized excavation, which differs from the calculation layer that has been selected. For example, this can be used in a case where bed rock has been reached before the theoretical excavation depth.
In the "Left limit" bar, the user can define the distance that will be included in the calculations on the left side of the selected alignment. For example, -10 designates that 10 meters on the left side of the alignment will be included in the calculations. If the inserted value is positive, the distance is measured on the right side of the selected alignment.
In the "Right limit" bar, the user can define the distance that will be included in the calculations on the right side of the selected alignment. For example, 10 designates that 10 meters on the right side of the alignment will be included in the calculations. If the inserted value is negative, the distance is measured on the left side of the selected alignment.
In the "Reference Layer Height Offset" bar, the user can adjust the height offset of the selected reference layer.
By clicking the "Add" button, a new task will be created in the selected folder.
By clicking the "< Close" button, the side window will be closed without creating a task.
After the "Add" button has been clicked, a task module will be created. The user can activate the task module from the folder where the task has been created.
By clicking "Calculate", the user can execute the mass calculation.
By clicking "Check Completion", the user can retrieve the latest measured log points and update the "Cut completed" and "Fill completed" sections in the map view. The "Total Completion Percentage" and the "COMPLETED CUT" and "COMPLETED FILL" columns in the "Masses" page will also be updated.
By clicking "Edit", the same side window will open as when "+ Advanced" is clicked, and the user can modify the inputted information.
By clicking "Delete", the user can delete the task.
Folder Tree Tools ^
Above the folder tree, different tools can be found to browse the folders.
In the "Filter tree" bar, the user can search folders from the folder tree.
By clicking the "Expand tree" button, the whole folder tree will be revealed.
By clicking the "Tree settings" button, a box will appear.
By adding a check mark to "Hide empty folders" all the empty folders in the folder tree will be hidden.
"On start, expand", the user can determine how the folder tree is shown after the browser page has been reloaded, for example, when the user logs in to Infrakit or refreshes the page. "None" means that only the root folder is shown; "First level" means that only the direct subfolders of the root folder will be shown; "All" means that all the folders in the folder tree will be shown; and "Restore previous state" means that the previous state of the folder tree will be restored.
By clicking "New Folder", the user can create a new folder under the folder that has been chosen.
