Chapter 4 Working with Cross Sections
264
The surface names and totals must be consistent throughout the file. If two
surfaces named SF1 and SF2 exist on the first section, there must be two
surfaces named SF1 and SF2 on every section.
The Sample From File commands overwriting behavior is the same as the
Sample From Surface command. At the prompt to overwrite the existing cross
section, accept the default option No. This adds the new existing ground cross
sections to the file, without overwriting the data that had previously been
sampled.
Editing the Existing Ground Cross Section Data
After you have sampled the existing ground sections from either a surface or a
text file, you can use the Edit Sections command to edit the information. You
can also use this command to create new cross sections.
To edit the existing ground cross section data
1 From the Cross Sections menu, choose Existing Ground ä Edit Sections to
display the Existing Ground Section Editor dialog box.
This dialog box displays the cross section data for the first station.
NOTE
If you have not yet selected a current alignment, then you are prompted to
select the current alignment.
Use this dialog box for editing the offset, elevation, and grade information for
individual stations of the surface.
2 Select the surface to edit (if the section has multiple surfaces) by clicking Select
Surface. The Surface Selection dialog box is displayed.
