3.4. Edit Tracker

This option will allow us to edit the characteristics of a tracker. When executing the command, it will ask us graphically to select it and then the following window will appear:
The header shows the type of tracker, as well as the dimensions of the tracker.
Description
Name: Name assigned to the tracker. This property is editable by the user.
Reference: Additional description to the name associated with the tracker.
Poles
Elevation over Ground (m): Ground height of all poles associated with the tracker.
Driving Depth (m): Length of the pole that will be placed under the ground.
List of Poles: A list of all the poles of the tracker is displayed with the following characteristics:
·         Number
·         Distance: Distance to the origin of the tracker's initial coordinate.
·         X and Y coordinates.
·         Z coordinate: Elevation of the pole. This elevation corresponds to the elevation of the tracker's grade in the coordinates of the tracker.
·         Elev. Diff: The difference in elevation between the Z coordinate of the pole with respect to the current surface.
·         Status: Indicates whether the pole is within the restrictions established in the corresponding project and zone.
Additionally, a series of comments are displayed at the information level.
·         Length, width, and slope of the tracker.
·         Clearance values
·         Tracker status, i.e. if it complies with the restrictions established in the project and zone to which it belongs. The tracker's errors are classified into three types:
o    Non-compliance due to Longitudinal Slope.
o    Non-compliance by Positive Clearance.
o    Default by Negative Clearance.
Draw Profile: With this option we have the possibility to draw the tracker in profile view. This function is described below in another section.
Check Profile: With this option we will be able to view the tracker in a separate window, with the possibility of modifying it graphically. This tool is described below.
