This command applies to the situation of designing a partly
completed road or regrade. Using
an existing and a final grade section file, the program will create
four new sections files for the
finished existing sections, finished final sections, remaining existing
sections, and remaining final
sections. The source existing and final section files should have
matching stations. There is an option
to process a range of the possible stations from the section files. The
complete part of the road
can be either on the left or right side. The pivot point is a cross
section offset where the completed
part ends. From this point, the final grade will connect to the
existing grade by a line at the
specified slope.
Select Existing Sections File Choose the cross sections file.
Select Final Sections File Choose the cross sections file.
Enter slope as percent grade or slope ratio (Percent/<Ratio>)?
press Enter
Enter the fill slope ratio <2.0>: press Enter
Enter the cut slope ratio <2.0>:
press Enter
Place road on left or right (<Left>/Right)?
press Enter
Range of stations: 50.0 to 100.0
Enter the starting station to process <50.0>:
press Enter
Enter the ending station to process <100.0>:
press Enter
Apply same pivot offset to all stations (Yes/<No>)?
Y
Enter the pivot offset (enter left offsets as negative) <0.0>:

SCT File dialogs Enter
new .SCT file names for 1) existing road .SCT file, 2) final road .SCT
file, 3) remaining existing .SCT file and 4) remaining final .SCT file.
As mentioned above, these are the four new sections files for the finished existing sections, finished final sections, remaining existing sections, and remaining final sections that the routine creates.
