This numerical data element will only be drawn if the segment contains a defined grade line. It represents the grade line’s negative height difference with regard to the longitudinal profile contained in the segment selected. The dialog box shown below is then displayed a description of its characteristics follows.
Element Height: Represents the distance to the immediately preceding numerical data element. This value can be expressed in two different ways:
· In number of characters
· In drawing units
When either of them is validated, the other value is automatically recalculated.
Number of Decimals: Number of decimal points with which the values representing cutting height differences will be represented
Orientation: Sets the texts’ orientation. There are two possibilities, either Horizontal or Vertical.
Justification: Sets the position of the text in relation to the insertion point. There are three possibilities: Start, Center and End.
Grade Line: The grade line to which the element refers should be selected. By default, 1 is equivalent to the grade line contained in the segment. If another number is selected, it will be related to the grade line entered in the Grade Line option.
Terrain: The longitudinal profile to which the element refers should be selected. By default, 1 is equivalent to the profile contained in the segment. If any another number is selected, it will be related to the profile entered in the Terrain option.
Message: Text that will appear as the element’s title on the numerical data drawing.
