ONLY FULL VERSION

 

Allows users to set out points from a Station, station Interval, Code and Side, taking into account cross-section profiles.

 

 

Clicking on the  button allows one to graphically select the code one wishes to set out.

 

 

If the Interval check box is not activated, only the Initial Station entered is set out. Otherwise, one can move forward or backward among the stations depending on the interval entered by using the  buttons.  

 

By marking the Unique Points check box, the stations of the alignment’s vertices can be set out.

 

The value entered in Thickness is added to the theoretical height calculated. It can be positive or negative.

 

If there is a cross-section and/or vertical alignment file in the project, information is displayed on the existing height difference between the current height and the theoretical height at the station and the offset indicated.

 

The point to be set out is searched in the cross-section file.  In order to do so, the code is checked to see if it exists at the side indicated. If this point cannot be found, the code and the side indicated are checked in the previous and following stations. If these data exist at both stations, the setting out point is calculated by interpolation. Otherwise an error message will be displayed.

 

The value indicated in the Horizontal Offset box affects the theoretical point’s offset. A positive value indicates one wishes to increase the said point’s distance from the alignment and a negative value means one wishes to reduce it. Should an alignment code have been selected, this horizontal offset will be dealt with as an offset from said alignment. That is to say, a positive value will set out the point on the right-hand side of the alignment and a negative value on the left-hand side.

 

The setting out screen is displayed when accept button is clicked:

 

          

 

This screen allows the station, code and alignment side to be set out to be changed manually. To this end, the options on the context menu of the title bar must be used.

 

The data which allow point setting out are:

 

Name of the numerical information mode in brackets. (Alin.)

 

Station and theoretical displacements and code. Sta 90.00 Dpl 8.75 (60).

 

Station and height measured. Sta 90.15 MH 561.88.  If the numerical information mode is different from the Alignment, only the elevation measured is shown.

 

Distance to be moved forwards or backwards at station. Bwd 0.15. Station OK is indicated when this distance is less than the longitudinal tolerance indicated in the configuration. If the numerical information mode is different from the Alignment the distance to be moved left or right is shown. Done is indicated when this distance is less than the transversal tolerance indicated in the configuration.

 

Distance to be moved inside or outside the alignment.  Out 5.37. Dpl OK is indicated when this distance is less than the transversal tolerance indicated in the configuration. If the numerical information mode is different from the Alignment the distance to be moved forward or back is shown.

 

Distance to rise (R) or fall (L) to achieve the theoretical elevation. L 0.28.  H OK is indicated when the elevation difference is less than the vertical tolerance indicated in the configuration. In the Alignment mode the project component or components used to calculate the theoretical elevation is also shown in brackets.
