Round Chainages To

Enter a rounding factor for cross sections to be drawn e.g. enter 100 to draw cross at 100m intervals.

Display Kerb

Specify whether the kerbs must be drawn on the cross-sections. Right-click on the cell to toggle the option.

Kerb Pen

Enter the pen colour for the kerb display. Right-click the cell to display the pen selection.

Right-click to toggle between Yes and No. If this option is Yes, then text will be displayed with crossing pipes on cross-sections.

Specify if the road reserve must be plotted on the cross-section.

Road Reserve Pen

Specify the pen for the road reserve.

Road Reserve LT

Specify the line type for the road reserve.

Display Road Fixtures

Specify if road fixtures must be included on the cross-section.

Display inside slope

Set this value to Yes to display slope text for design cross-sections on the first edge of the Cut/Fill details. When you change this value to Yes, a Plot Text Params dialog displays. These text settings will be used when plotting.
