• Turn
- the direction of the turning curve. The Right value stands
for clockwise direction and the Left value for counter-clockwise
direction. You cannot edit the parameter for intersection
alignment.
• Spiral 1 Length
- the length of the first spiral of the compound
curve. You can edit the value.
• Spiral 2 Length
- the length of the second spiral of the compound
curve. You can edit the value.
The curve parameters in the Curve panel in the current linear units
(you can edit these parameters):
• Spiral Constant 1
- the square root of the product of the length
and the radius of the first spiral.
• Spiral Constant 2
- the square root of the product of the length
and the radius of the first spiral.
• Deg Curve
- the angle in degrees used to compute the start radius
of a curve whose curve is 100 units long. Using the degree of
curve (DCV) parameter, the radius of the curve is automatically
calculated.
• Deg Chord
- the angle in degrees used to compute the start radius
of a curve whose chord is 100 units long. Using the degree of
chord (DCH) parameter, the radius of the curve is automatically
calculated.
For any alignment type the Add Next Element check box is present in
the Add Horz Element window. If this parameter is checked (default
