Layout Templates are completely useless?

Hello,

did anyone successfully use the Layout Template feature? I need to create 15 cross sections from polylines and wanted to implement the Layout template feature instead of copying a single layout to multiple sections again every time I make a minor change. But the cross sections, being at different locations, do not retain the borehole selection by distance filter. Instead only the boreholes selected in the template layout are being plotted. It does not seem to be possible to just have a fixed distance filter of like 100m to include all boreholes within this range.

tbh working with sections in Leapfrog is really laborious when dealing with a larger number of sections to be created as there are lots of repetitive user actions required.

    Hello, was there any improvement to this in the latest release?

    I am also experiencing challenges deploying a cross-section template with boreholes to my alignment serial sections.

    My template has all the boreholes within x distance from the section with the toggle on to select all the boreholes within that distance. But like Christian describes in his post from last year, when I apply the template section to an alignment serial section series, the borehole element appears in the deployed sections but there is an error "No Selection" associated with the borehole element(s) and when I open the projection settings to select the boreholes the select all checkbox is unchecked. After checking the checkbox to select all BH's within the filter distance, the boreholes display as expected, but then when saving the section following this update there is a pop-up dialogue that warns that "Deviating child layout from layout template" will disconnect the section from the template section which of course means that it is now a stand-alone element and will no longer be updated if the master template section is updated.

    As Christian wrote last year, this limitation seems to make the section template much less useful for Alignment Serial Sections… maybe the bh display behavior is different for linear chain sections?

    FYI, I am running LF Works 2024.1 and I confirmed that the BH selection deployment works as expected when deployed to a single cross-section or to a linear serial section. This issue seems only with deploying to an alignment series.

    Hi @ThomasCook!

    I'm cc'ing my colleague @ElisabethPoizat for her wherewithal.

    I think I can recreate your issue with BHs.

    I checked the system to see if there was a case logged in July 2023 but there's isn't one. However, I can see your case in the system (submitted on the 25th Sep). I'm not sure what the engineering team might be able to discover but I think it's worth them investigating. I'm only doing a very quick reproduction with BHs, it could be useful if the team could get a copy of your project to test the plan (other issue) with. If so, could you respond on the support email thread to the team and they will give you a instructions to share you project.

    Thanks for following up on the issue.
