ONLY FULL VERSION

 

This option enables points offset from the alignment at the distance indicated to be set out by supplying an Initial Station, an Offset and an Interval.

 

The offset can be negative or positive, respectively indicating the left-hand or right-hand side of the alignment. If an offset of 0.0 is entered, points are set out over the alignment. The  button allows one to select the offset graphically if there is a subgrade or roadbed file cross-section file in the project.

 

 

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.  

 

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

 

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

 

If there is a subgrade or roadbed and/or vertical alignment cross-section 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. Furthermore, the component of the project used to calculate said theoretical elevation is shown in brackets. (CS) for cross sections, (VA) for vertical alignment and (Sup) for vertical alignment and superelevations.

 

 

 

The station, displacement and side of the alignment to be set out can be changed manually in this screen with the context menu options

 

.

 

If the Unique Points option has been selected, they will also be taken into account when moving forward or backward through the stations.

 

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

 

 

The information shown for setting out is:

 

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

 

Station and theoretical displacements. Sta 90.00 Dpl 6.00.

 

Station and height measured. Sta 89.85 MH 560.79.  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 Fwd 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 5.88. 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. R(CS) 0.50.  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. To calculate the latter the procedure below is followed:

 

If there is a cross-section file, the one selected is used. If there is additionally a vertical alignment file, the height is corrected according to it. If there is only a vertical alignment file, the theoretical height will be the vertical alignment at the theoretical station. Lastly, if there are superelevations and vertical alignment, the theoretical height will be that of the vertical alignment plus the superelevation’s increment up to the theoretical offset. If there are none of these files, height difference information will not be displayed.
