Define Start Point or Coordinates
Every road that you create needs to have a starting location defined. You have two options available
to define this location.
Start ID
If you have a point stored in your project's database that is also the start point for the alignment, you
can use this point as the start location. Simply enter the point number in the Start ID field, or use the
point chooser to select it from the map. Once you've selected the point, the point's northing and easting
values will be displayed. At this point, the elevation is not needed because the profile is what
defines the elevations along the road.
When you use the point chooser or enter a point id, all that will happen is the coordinates for the point
are written to the alignment file. The next time you open the alignment file, you will no longer see the
point ID that was used, you will only see the coordinate values.
Enter Coordinates
If you don't have a point that defines the start location, you can define it by entering a Northing and
Easting value. You have to leave Start ID field blank if you want to enter coordinates.
Manual Entry - Alignment C/L
Main Menu | Roads Manager | Edit Road | Alignment C/L
To define the centerline data press the Alignment C/L button which will open a menu. On this menu
select Edit to open the C/L Editor.
If you're entering a new road the C/L Editor will not have any elements listed. In the example shown
below there are three elements defined; 2 tangents and 1 curve element. In the element list, it will
always display the length of the element and its end station. Furthermore, all elements that are
defined will be displayed in the Map so you can visually confirm that the geometry is correct.
Delete C/L Alignment
You can not delete a C/L Alignment once it has been created.
