When this button is clicked, one accesses a new window where a series of profile characteristics the program can label on the drawing is displayed. The window in which these appear is shown below and a description of its characteristics appears further below.
Element
For each of the elements associated with the cross-section we have the option of indicating if we wish to draw it, in addition to the text as a prefix which will appear in the drawing of the profile.
Profile Numbering: When this box is activated, an increasing ordinal starting from the number one is displayed for each profile drawn.
Station: The box is enabled by default and it shows the station or distance to origin.
Partial Distances: Indicates the distance with respect to the previous cut.
Terrain Heights: Also enabled by default, because it is of great help to configure the comparison plan at the intersection of the terrain with the horizontal alignment’s position. This height is displayed with the “Zt=“ prefix beneath the above-mentioned text. If the Numerical data option is activated, it appears as another element included in this data.
Grade Line Height: This box is only active when the profile file to be drawn comes from a segment file, in which case there is grade line information. It is displayed with the “Zr=“ prefix. Similarly, if the Numerical Data option is activated, it appears as an element included in this data.
Subgrade line height: This option is only available in the case of selecting a segment and the subgrade is to be labelled at each cut, whenever the corresponding cut has an assigned roadbed.
Surfaces: Like the previous option, it is only active under the same conditions. Its text is positioned to the right of the horizontal alignment, symmetrical to the above-mentioned texts.
We can choose from the following drawings:
· Cut area
· Fill area
· Topsoil area
The representation format is “Sd=“ for the cutting surface and “St=“ for the fill area.
Volumes: Displays the calculation of the volume between the current station and the immediately previous one.
We can choose from the following drawings:
· Cut Volume
· Fill Volume
· Topsoil Volume
The drawing format default is “Vd =” for the cut area, “Vt =” for the fill area and “Vv =” for the plan surface.
Superelevations: Labels the superelevation to be applied both to the left as well as to the right of the station belonging to the segment to be drawn.
Coordinates: Option only available if we select a segment. The X and Y coordinates of the PK will be labeled at the axis position.
Elements to be labeled
Comparison plan: Features a horizontal line for each cut with a reference height.
Heights on Profile: Displays heights on the terrain line at each of the points defining the cross-section.
Distances on Profile: Indicates the distances to the horizontal alignment beneath the terrain line at each of the points defining the cross-section.
Slopes in Profile: Shows the slopes of each of the vectors. Illustrated in each of the sections of the polyline. The value of the same is labeled per hundred.
Numerical data: In this section the numerical data associated with the cross-section profiles is activated and configured: Terrain heights, Grade line heights, cut/fill, and codes, depending on whether a segment or a cross-section is selected.
Profile reference lines: This option will only be available if the Range is activated. When this option is activated, the marks on the profile will be extended to the comparison plane.
