This
section features the different elements the segment contains, as well as the
different buttons for interacting with them. Their functions are described
below.
The
date field is filled in whenever the file that it refers to is found on the
computer, showing its date.
Import: Depending on the element selected, by pressing this button MDT
requests the respective file and once selected this becomes a part of the
segment. For example, if the Longitudinal
option is activated by pressing this button the program will request a file
with the file ending *.LON.
Automatic: Pressing this button automatically imports all the files found in
the same folder as the segment and with its same name.
Select: This option is only accessible for the horizontal alignment, the
longitudinal and the vertical alignment. It allows us to graphically select the
element instead of importing it necessarily from a file.
Export: Similar to the previous button, by pressing this one MDT will
export the selected element to a file. This option is very useful for updating
information if the segment content has been modified in a command later
executed.
Delete: Deletes the information the segment of the element has associated
with the element selected.
View/edit: Enables visualization of the element selected. Editing is carried
out on an external editor and changes can be made on the majority of the
elements, but these changes will only be kept for the segments and not the files
they depend on. To update the files use the Export option
mentioned previously.
List: This enables listing the elements selected. Changes can be made to
the lists, but these changes will only be maintained in the segments and not in
the files they depend on. To update the
files use the option Export mentioned previously.
Recalculate: This option is another alternative to importing. For
superelevations and shoulders it is only necessary to define the horizontal
alignment. To make it possible to use these with longitudinal profiles and
cross-sections, it is necessary to have a surface and its respective files
defined. MDT analyses them to extract the interval between profiles and then
recalculates them, updating the information.
Print: Use this option to extract the object selected in a selected output
file (printer, pdf, excel, etc.).
Advanced:This option has been designed for those components that require
additional configuration and it can now only be used for the configuration of
the additional width application point. Upon selecting the Additional widths
option and pressing this button the following window will appear in which we
will indicate the application vector.
