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

The grid contains settings for the section and detail areas for the long section data. 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.

Option

 

Description

Plot

Specify whether a line should be plotted in the section area for this data.

Label

Specify whether a label should be generated in the detail area for this data.

Smooth

Specify whether the plotted line should be smoothed with a Bezier curve.

Pen

Select the pen in which to plot the data line. Right-click the cell to display the pen selection.

Line Style

Enter the line type in which to plot the data line.

CAD

Enter the CAD layer on which the line should be plotted.

Dec

Enter the number of decimal places to be used for the detail data.

All

Select whether a line point and/or data value should be generated for every point in this long section line (Yes) or only the bend mm (road chainage mm or manholes) (No).

Min. Y

Enter the bottom coordinate of the area in which labels should be written relative to the datum line. Enter a value of 0 to use the Y Origin setting instead.

Max. Y

Enter the top coordinate of the area in which labels should be written relative to the datum line. Enter a value of 0 to use the Y Origin setting instead.

Y Origin

Enter the coordinate at which the label origins should be placed. This is an alternative method to using the Min Y and Max Y settings.

Alignment

Select the alignment of the label text.

Exag

Enter the chainage interval in metres at which data labels should be exaggerated. The text is written 60% greater than the specified size.

Text Height

Enter the height of label text in mm.

Text Rot

Enter the angle at which label text should be written in degrees.

Text Pen

Select the pen in which to plot the label text. Right-click the cell to display the pen selection.

Underline

Specify whether a line should be drawn under the data label from the defined Min Y to the defined Max Y coordinates (Yes) or not (No).

Drop

Specify whether a line should be drawn from the plotted data point down to the datum line (Yes) or not (No).

Round

Specify a chainage rounding factor for the specific line. For example, you cn enter 100 if you want to display elevations on 100m intervals.

Text Style

Select the text style in which the text should be drawn.
