n
Superelevation Parameters: You can modify the superelevation parameters
at any time. The Superelevation Parameters command automatically
reprocesses the cross sections.
n
View/Edit Sections: You can use the View/Edit Sections command at any
time to view the cross sections and to make modifications to the design of
individual sections.
Working with the Cross Section Database Files
Horizontal alignments are defined with a name and stored in the alignment
database for reference. All commands that work with alignments refer to the
information from this database.
Profile and cross section data is also stored in data files. These data files are
stored in c:\Land Projects R2\<project name>\align\<alignment name> folder.
Cross section settings for options such as the template control, sampling
increments, and layers for plotting are stored in c:\Land Projects R2\<project
name>\ <dwgname>.dfm file in the c:\Land Projects R2\<project name>\dwg
folder along with the rest of the settings for the current drawing.
Creating Existing Ground Cross Sections
The first step in working with cross sections is to establish the existing ground
surface information. You can create the existing ground cross section data in
one of three ways. You can sample the data from one or more surfaces, you can
import the data from a text file, or you can enter the data manually by using
the Existing Ground Section Editor.
Setting the Current Surface (Cross Sections)
Use the Set Current Surface command to set the current surface for the drawing.
The current surface is used when you use the Sample From Surface command to
sample cross section data from one surface.
NOTE
The surface stays current for the drawing session only. You must set a
current surface each time you open the drawing.
