This command creates Carlson points along a horizontal alignment
polyline
using a profile file to compute the point elevations. The created
points
are stored in a coordinate (.CRD) file and can also be drawn on screen
in
the layer specified by the user. Station text, profile name, and
special
points (vertical and horizontal PC's and PT's) can be stored in the
point
description depending on user settings.
Create points at Profile special points: Includes vertical PC
and
PT points.
Create points at Centerline special points: Includes horizontal
PC and PT points.
Create points at Station Intervals: Allows you to specify
intervals
for point creation.
Interval On Line Segments: Specify station interval for line
segments.
Interval On Curve Segments: Specify station interval for curve
segments.
Station to Begin Intervals: Specify station to start intervals.
Prompt For Additional Odd Stations: Any station can be
entered
to create additional points with elevations derived from the profile.
Create Points on Centerline: When checked, points will be
created
on the centerline.
Create Left Offset Points: When checked, left offset points
will
be created. Specify the offset in the edit box.
Create Right Offset Points: When checked, right offset points
will be created. Specify the offset in the edit box.
Vertical Offset of
Profile: Specify the vertical offset. Enter
zero for no vertical offset.
Plot Points: When checked, points will be plotted in the
drawing,
otherwise points are only added to the current coordinate (.CRD) file.
Include profile name in point descriptions: When checked, the
profile name will be used as the prefix on the the point description.
For
example, if the profile name is DESIGN.PRO, then the point description
might
be DESIGN 0+63.37.
Decimal Places: Specify the display precision for points that
are
plotted in the drawing. This setting does not affect the coordinates
stored
in the CRD file.
Centerline by: Click either Polyline or CL File.
Type of Centerline: Click either Roadway or Railroad.
OK: Specify files.
Select Coordinate File to Process
If the current coordinate is set, it is used automatically without this
prompt.
Select profile centerline polyline: pick a polyline
Station by another reference centerline [Yes/<No>]? N for no. This option will prompt
for a second centerline to use for stationing.
Starting station of centerline <0.0>: press Enter
Choose Profile to Process dialog Specify a profile name.
Starting point number <1>: press Enter This
defaults
to the point number after the highest one currently in the CRD file.
Station for additional point (ENTER to end): press Enter This
option will create a point at the specified station. Prompt
occurs
only if option is specified in dialog.
