Offset Staking – Screen Two
The second Offset Staking screen is used to define the cross section of
the road that you want to offset stake.
1/2 Road Width: is the Left and Right width of the
road, respectively, from the centerline to the edge of
payment. (See diagram below.)
X-Slope (%): is the Left and Right slope of the road,
respectively, from the centerline to the edge of payment.
Note: A negative slope will result in water running from
the centerline toward the edge of payment.
; Stake Curb / Ditch: When checked, a curb or ditch
and an offset can be defined beyond the edge of the
pavement.
Shape 1 : / …2 : / …3 : : When staking a
curb / ditch, this button allows you to select the shape of the curb,
ditch, or slope beyond the edge of pavement so cut / fill information
can be computed on this surface if a random offset is specified. The
selected shape is displayed by an icon next to the button, as well as
with a bold line in the road’s cross-sectional profile at the bottom of
the screen.
Note: The selected Shape is irrelevant if a random offset is not
specified since the nodes are always in the same place for each shape
that uses the same Height and Offset values.
Height: is the height of the curb, ditch, or slope in feet or meters. A
positive value is considered a curb and a negative value a ditch.
Offset From Edge of Road: is the distance that the curb or ditch
extends from the edge of pavement.
