Displacement: Offset to the horizontal alignment of the points to be set out, also called setting back. If it is negative, it is to the left of the horizontal alignment; and if it is positive, it is to the right of the horizontal alignment.
Interval: Station intervals at which the setting out is to be performed.
Thickness: This value will be considered if a segment is selected, in which case the value entered in this box will be subtracted from the resulting grade line height. The value should always be positive.
Set Out: The horizontal alignment side one wishes to set out is entered in this box. Left, Right or Both.
Once the dialog box has been validated, the different lists, depending on the method selected, will appear as follows.
Setting Out by Polar Method
For each interval from the initial station to the final station, it displays the station, adjustment, X, Y and Z coordinates, azimuth and distance from the base station, and code. The latter will be an asterisk (*) for unique points. The Z Coordinate is obtained from the segment, should it be defined.
Setting out by Bisection Method
For each interval from the initial station to the final station, it displays the station, adjustment, X, Y and Z coordinates, azimuth and distance from the base and reference stations, and code. The latter will be an asterisk (*) for unique points. The Z Coordinate is obtained from the segment, should it be defined.
The possibility exists for all the different lists of exporting and printing the data obtained. A description of each of the options follows:
