Buttons for displacement over the course of each of the stations, in the case of selecting a template file, if no information exists on the natural terrain the  button  is available which simulates the cross-sections in order to obtain a real simulation of the section.

          Pressing the  button displays the following window which is described below:

 

Cross Section Simulation: Here we establish the parameters for creating the virtual cross-section that will form part of the template.

·         Interval between cuts: Interval with which the profiles are developed.

·         Height difference with grade: To establish the height difference with the grade, basically for the simulation of slopes.

·         Left width: Cut width of the left cross sections.

·         Right width: Cut width of the right cross sections.

·         Superelevations: To simulate the superelevations, establish the values both to the left and the right.

Reference road: This option enables visualization of the current segment with respect to another segment, so that for example the intersections between the two can be analysed.

          When this box is activated the program will request the segment with regard to which the comparison will be made and then the editing window below will be displayed.

 

          It is also possible to modify the vertical alignment height of the edited segment in order to adjust the intersections. To do this the following buttons will be enabled, increase/decrease will always be 0.01, though it can be modified from the program configuration options:

 Increase / decrease the vertex prior to the vertical alignment according to the station analysed.

 Increase / decrease the section of the vertical alignment where the station analysed is.

 Increase / decrease the vertex after the vertical alignment according to the station analysed.

 

          The changes made to the vertical alignment height are saved automatically in the segment once we validate the section editing window.
