Long Section Road Data

This page defines the plot settings for the section and detail areas for road long sections.

Some columns are not visible until you scroll right in the grid.

The grid contains combined settings for the section and detail area for road elements.

The properties you can directly edit in the grid are:

Initialise Road Long Section Data

If you are creating a new sheetfile, there will be no road longsection data. In this case, you will not see the Road Data grid, instead you will see a Create Road Longsection Layout button.

Refer to the Long Section Storm Data help page to see how to create the road longsection layout and initialise the data in the grid.
