Long Section Water Data

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

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

The grid contains combined settings for the section and detail areas for Water 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 the Pipe Crossing option to Yes, 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.

For fittings, the text tends to be long so it is best to place it on a drop line and not inside the table, by using positive values for MinY and MaxY. These values can be equal but cannot be zero as they are not supported in sheetfiles.

Max. Y

Enter the top coordinate of the area in which labels should be written relative to the datum line.

For fittings, the text tends to be long so it is best to place it on a drop line and not inside the table, by using positive values for MinY and MaxY. These values can be equal but cannot be zero as they are not supported in sheetfiles.

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. Detail area rows only.

Plot

Select whether this row is visible when printing/plotting. 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 Min Y to the defined Max Y 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.

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.

Insert a Row

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.

Delete a Row

Refer to the Long Section Storm Data help page to see how to delete a row from the grid.

Move a Row Up or Down

Refer to the Long Section Storm Data help page to see how to move a row in the grip up or down.

Link Data Rows

Refer to the Long Section Storm Data help page to see how to link and unlink rows in the grid.

Initialise Water Long Section Data

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

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