This text box offers a series of options to be taken into consideration, depending on the longitudinal profile to be obtained.
All Cuts. This option informs the program to obtain cuts of all the vertices contained in the layers selected, digital model triangles or grid faces along the whole horizontal alignment.
Unique Points. When this option is selected, the program takes into consideration the initial and final stations and all the vertices found on the horizontal alignment, in addition to all the interval distances determined prior to the constant interval: changes of orientation, vertices forming straight lines, tangents, etc.
Distance. This option allows one to include specific stations on the longitudinal profile. Activating this option enables the Distances button. A new window called Distances in Profiles is then activated.
As can be observed in the window, it includes a series of buttons used for editing the stations to be included.
Select: Allows one to select the station graphically. In order to do so, either a point on the horizontal alignment is selected or a point close to the horizontal alignment indicated. The point is then projected on to itself, returning the station of the point indicated.
Change: This command changes the station selected from the list for the one indicated in the Distances text box.
Delete: Deletes the station selected from the list.
Load and Save: These commands allow one to load or generate a .DST file or a profile distance file, respectively. Each line indicates a station.
Clear: Deletes the entire list from the window.
Points: Provides access to the Point Selection window to determine the set of points whose stations one intends to project onto the horizontal alignment. See Point Selection in the Surveying Points section.
Interval: This option allows one to include a series of stations spaced out with the value indicated.
Horizontal Alignment Intersections: To use this option it is necessary to be working with a project. Once it is activated, the program will calculate the current horizontal alignment station intersections with the rest of the project’s horizontal alignments.
It will include these stations in profile generation.
