This numerical data element will only be drawn if the segment contains a defined grade line. It represents the height differences of the grade line’s fill 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, expressed in number of characters. This value may 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 decimals with which the values representing fill 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 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.
