Basically I'm wondering how the attached spreadsheet is created. I know this seems like I'm trying to rip off keystone but I am not.
The program can be downloaded here:
This would be used for drawing Retaining wall elevations for segmental walls. Basically you have top grade and bottom grade points which you connect and give you your top grade and bottom grade profile lines. Currently I enter these points in excel and use simple script to connect the points in AutoCAD. However then I must copy an 8" grid over these profile lines to drawing the actual elevation of the wall. So every time the 8" grid/coursing line intersects the profile line the wall needs to step up or down. The spreadsheet does this automatically along with some other estimating features but I do not need those. I am just looking for a starting point.
We do a fair number of walls and I'm trying to automate the processes. Once I figure how to get excel to draw in the lines then I need to figure out how to get it to AutoCAD. But I have a different thread for that.
