Specify which symbols must be plotted on the cross-section, at the position(s) where the cross-section crosses lines or polylines in the CAD layers. This can be used to display fences, street lights and other items on the cross-section, where CAD lines in specified layers intersect with the cross-section.

Description

Table

Source Layer

Specify the CAD layer to use to determine the position of the road fixture. Where the cross-section crosses a line or polyline in the specified layer, the selected symbol will be displayed on the cross-section.

LHS Symbol

Specify which symbol must be displayed on the left-hand side intersection between the cross-section and the line/polyline in the CAD layer.

RHS Symbol

Specify which symbol must be displayed on the right-hand side intersection between the cross-section and the line/polyline in the CAD layer.

Height Layer

Specify which road cross-section layer must be used to determine the height of the reference point of the symbol. For instance, if you want to display a fence on the road reserve, it would make sense to use the natural ground layer. If, on the other hand, you want to display a guard rail on the road then you would use the final design layer.

Pen

Specify which pen to plot the symbol with.

Scale

Specify the scale of the symbol.
