CIB World Congress 2007 |
|
| |
 |
Knowledge Base has been invited to attend the Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) World Congress 2007. The Congress will take place from 14 to 18 May at the ICC Cape Town.
It is estimated that between 300 and 350 delegates, of whom approximately 80% would be international decision-makers, will be attending the Congress.
|
With the current infrastructure construction 'boom' in South Africa and the many problems we still face regarding housing and other infrastructural backlogs, this congress with the theme 'Construction for Development', focuses on the important role that construction plays in the development of nations and looks at, among other things, possible solutions and case studies.
This expertise could be particularly valuable to South Africans involved in the creation of infrastructure for 2010 and beyond.

PURGING DUPLICATE LINES
 |
Duplicate lines can result in slow redraw times and very large drawings. Duplicate or overlapping lines can also cause other problems. On redrawing a screen,
|
a deleted line may seem to reappear due to the presence of a duplicate line underneath. Similarly, the Intersection Snap Mode may not work if there are duplicate lines or arcs over the intersection point. AllyCAD allows the user to remove entities that are actually duplicates although they were drawn in opposite directions. The program will therefore check for entities in a reverse direction but which otherwise are still duplicates.
The following may be accessed to remove duplicate entities: The "Purge Duplicates/ Redundant" option in the File menu removes all exactly duplicated elements whether in reverse direction or not; and the "Tidy Polygons" in the Tools Menu deletes overlapping and duplicated lines and arcs, but does not work on text. With these functions duplicate entities can be identified and deleted allowing faster redraw times.
