• Start Grade
- the start grade of the element in percents. You can
edit this parameter. If the grade is rising, the value should be set
positive; if the grade is falling, the value should be set negative.
• End Grade
– the ending grade of the element in percents. You can
edit this parameter. If the grade is rising, the value should be set
positive; if the grade is falling, the value should be set negative.
• Sta/Chainage
- the number of the start station or chainage for a
vertical element. You cannot edit this parameter for this
alignment. This parameter is automatically calculated taking into
account Length
, Start Grade and End Grade.
For Circular Arc the tab contains the fields:
• Radius
- the radius of the vertical element. You can edit this
parameter.
• Length
– the length of the vertical element. The length of the
circular arc is automatically calculated taking into account the
entered values of the Radius
, Start Grade and End Grade. You
cannot edit the parameter.
• Start Grade
- the start grade of the element, in percents. You can
edit this parameter. If the grade is rising, the value should be set
positive; if the grade is falling, the value should be set negative.
• End Grade
– the ending grade of the element, in percents. You
can edit this parameter. If the grade is rising, the value should be
set positive; if the grade is falling, the value should be set
negative.
• Sta/Chainage
- the number of the start station or chainage for a
vertical element. You cannot edit this parameter for this
alignment. This parameter is automatically calculated taking into
account the Radius
, Start Grade and End Grade.
The vertical alignment can be described through a long section
(parabola long section or arc long section). In this case, three points
are used to draw a compound curve. To set the compound curve in the
vertical plane, you need to add three long sections to the vertical
