Stake Spiral and Offset
Stakeout Spiral and Offset.
The Stake Spiral and Offset screen allows you to stake stations at
fixed intervals on a spiral curve, or at an offset to it.
Start Point: is the point associated with the
beginning of the spiral curve. This can either
be the TS or the CS, which is specified later in
this screen (see below).
Tangent Azm | Tangent Bearing : defines the
tangent azimuth or bearing at the entrance to
the spiral
Radius | Degree Arc | Degree Chord :
defines the radius, degree arc, or degree chord
of the curve, respectively.
Length: is the length of the spiral curve.
Begin Station: is the station associated with the Start Point.
Turn: defines if the curve turns toward the Left or Right from the
point of view of the Start Point.
Spiral: defines the direction of the spiral curve by the following
options:
• TS to SC: the spiral begins at the tangent (Tangent to Spiral)
and ends at the circular curve (Spiral to Curve).
• CS to ST: the spiral begins at the circular curve (Curve to
Spiral) and ends at the tangent (Spiral to Tangent).
