Vertical Curve Design:
This feature prints a list of station and elevation information for
stations along one or more vertical curves.
Use the Odd stations to be staked (6+34.22 as 634.22): prompt to
enter any stations along the curve for which you wish elevation
information. This permits you to calculate elevations over culverts
or at other important locations.
The calculated station and elevation information . The station,
tangent elevation, tangent offset and grade elevation will be
printed at the command line and in the print file. The high or low
point will be marked with an asterisk.
Repeat the process to design another vertical curve or press
<Esc> at the Enter curve description: prompt to end the
command.

Enter curve description:
Description is used to identify the curve in the output.
Enter slope in
<0.00000>: The slope is entered as a percent. For
example: enter -1.5 for a 1.5% downhill slope.
Enter slope out
<0.00000>: Enter the slope as a percent.
Enter length of vertical curve
<0.00000>: Enter the length of the vertical curve.
Enter PVI Station
<0.000000>: Enter the PVI station. For example: Enter
1250.00 for station 12+50.00
Enter PVI Elevation
<0.000000>: Enter the PVI elevation.
Enter station interval
<0.000000>: Enter the station interval.
Odd stations to be staked (6+34.22
as 634.22): Enter any stations along the curve for which you
wish elevation information.
