Component Group
Load	Load a component group from a file.
Save	Save the current component group.
Save As	Save the current component group to a new file.
New	Create a new component group.

Geometry

Specifies the cross-sectional geometry of a component by using two dimensional vectors.

Option	Description
Hor column	Specifies a horizontal movement. The dropdown list includes the following options: + Extract Next (555) - Horizontal movement calculated from the next two points. - Extract Next (-555) - Horizontal movement calculated from the next two points.
Vert column	Specifies a vertical movement. The dropdown list includes the following options: + Extract Next (555) - Vertical movement calculated from the next two points. - Extract Next (-555) - Vertical movement calculated from the next two points. + Cross Fall Grade (777) - Vertical movement calculated from the positive super elevation and the entered horizontal movement. - Cross Fall Grade (-777) - Vertical movement calculated from the negative super elevation and the entered horizontal movement. + Previous Grade (888) - Vertical movement calculated from the positive grade of the previous two points and the entered horizontal movement. - Previous Grade (-888) - Vertical movement calculated from the negative grade of the previous two points and the entered horizontal movement.
Stop	Indicate where the next component or cut/fill slope must start.

Quantities

Specifies how quantities will be calculated for this component. The program automatically multiplies the specified quantities by the length of the component.

Option	Description
Type	Enter the type of quantity to be calculated: Volume - The defined region will represent an area. Area -The region will represent a linear distance. Linear - The formula is applied to the linear distance.
Formula	Enter the range - closed polygon for Volumes; and open polygon for Areas. You can also add, subtract, multiply or divide a constant value to the range. Right-click and select the Define Region option to indicate sides on the component profile.
Description	Enter a description that will be printed when running component volumes.

Cross-Section

Specifies what should be used in calculating the earthworks cross-section.

Option	Description
Method	Specifies how the region representing the earthworks cross-section is calculated. Above – Region is above the geometry, from the first point to the stop point. Below – Region is below the geometry, from the first point to the stop point. Custom - Define a custom region by indicating sides on the component profile. None – No Region. Through – Region is defined by extending the previous grade so it passes through the component. The stop point is automatically calculated.
Region	Indicates the region. Use a polygon to create the earthworks cross-section. Right-click and select the Define Region option to indicate sides on the component profile for the Custom Method.
Stop on grade	Optional value that is used to automatically calculate the stop point using the previous grade. Maintains the method used for Region.

Layerworks

This section defines the layerworks for the component. Entries consist of the left and right optional shifts from the component limits in order to create a stepped layer, the depth of the layer and a description of the layer.

Right-click to access the Pavement Designer.

Option	Description
Left Shift	Optional value that is used to widen or narrow the left side of a particular layer.
Region	Region - Enter the region. Use a polygon to create the layerworks. Right-click and select the Define Region option to indicate sides on the component profile. Type - Specify the type of layerworks to create: Aligned Layers - Layerworks are created at the same angle as the defined region. Flat Layers - Layerworks are created horizontal.
Right Shift	Optional value that is used to widen the right side of a particular layer.
Layer Depth	Specifies the thickness of a particular layer.
Layer Description	Specifies the description that is displayed when running Component Layerwork Quantities.
