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:
Option
|
Description |
Label |
Select whether a label should be generated for this attribute. When toggling to Pipe Crossing option to Ye, specify the text that has to be written next to the crossing services using the Crossing Services Text. |
Text Pen |
Select the pen in which to plot the label text. Right-click the cell to display the pen selection. |
CAD |
Enter the CAD layer on which the data label should be plotted. |
Dec |
Enter the number of decimal places to be used for the label value. |
Min. Y |
Enter the bottom coordinate of the area in which labels should be written relative to the datum line. |
Max. Y |
Enter the top coordinate of the area in which labels should be written relative to the datum line. |
Text Height |
Enter the text height in mm. |
Alignment |
Select the alignment of the label text. |
Text Style |
Select the text style for the label text. |
Arrow Length |
Specify the length of the arrow (for those data elements that use arrows). Detail area rows only. |
Custom Text |
Select whether a custom text entry should be generated for this road entry. If you select this option, a dialog displays where you can enter the custom text. This is only applicable to the Left and Right Super rows. Detail area rows only. |
Max Super |
Enter the maximum superelevation value represented by the MinY and MaxY entries. This is used to scale the superelevation to fit the defined area. This is only applicable to the Left and Right Super rows. Detail area rows only. |
Plot |
Select whether this row is visible when printing/plotting. Section area rows only. |
Table |
Select whether a long section table should be plotted for this line. The Long Section Table displays. Section area rows only. |
Smooth |
Select whether the plotted line should be smoothed. Section area rows only. |
Pen |
Select the pen in which to plot the data line. Section area rows only. |
Line Style |
Select a line style for the data line. Section area rows only. |
All |
Select whether a line point and/or data value should be generated for every point in this long section line (checked) or only the bend manholes (unchecked). |
Exag |
Enter the chainage interval in metres at which data labels should be exaggerated. The text height at these labels will be 60% larger than the Text Height size above. Section area rows only. |
Text Rot |
Enter the angle (in degrees) at which label text should be written. Section area rows only. |
Underline |
Select this to draw a line under the data label from the defined MinY to the defined MaxY coordinates. Section area rows only. |
Drop |
Select this to draw a line from the plotted data point down to the datum line. Section area rows only. |
Round |
Enter a chainage rounding factor for the specific line. E.g. enter 100 if you want to display elevations on 100m intervals. Section area rows only. |
The row headings, other than Chainage, can be changed by double-clicking them. This allows you to enter descriptive text for the row, which is displayed in the Long Section Setup as an aid to the data required for each particular line.
You can insert data parameters that are not already listed in the grid. Refer to the Long Section Storm Data help page to see how to insert a row in the grid.
Refer to the Long Section Storm Data help page to see how to delete a row from the grid.
Refer to the Long Section Storm Data help page to see how to move a row in the grip up or down.
Refer to the Long Section Storm Data help page to see how to link and unlink rows in the grid.
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.
