MPS Frames and Node Referencing

I caught up with Dylan Revell of 12d NZ Ltd yesterday to chat about Multipage Plots again…this time with a focus on Frames and Node Referencing.

Following on from the ‘Multipage Plots Overview’ webinar which introduced the structure and functionality of MPS plotting in 12d Model 14, the MPS Frames and Node Referencing webinar covered in greater detail the types and purposes of MPS nodes and sub nodes.

We looked at the different MPS frame types that can be used to produce complete page compositions for plotting including plans, cross sections, long sections, perspective, 3D PDF, and water node Frame types.

Referencing of MPS sub nodes was also demonstrated, enabling users to reduce or eliminate manual duplication of plotted compositions including title blocks, frames, models, and text.

We also covered how to utilise CSV drawing registers to populate title block information and custom page numbering. The process for linking to MPS pages was also included in this webinar.

A section on MPS Special Chapters, enabling the power of existing 12d Model plot parameter file (PPF) plotting operations, managed within the MPS, completed this exciting session!
