Layout Options Window

Alignments Tab

In addition to the standard column layout and labelling options, the Alignments tab in the Layout Options window provides a series of dedicated options for controlling the display and formatting of alignment and profile related station and entity data.

Alignment/Profile Sampling Interval

These settings control the content of the Calculated Stations sub-object list for alignments and profiles.

Alignment Interval Related Settings

Set the station sampling interval for alignments on line, spiral, and curve entities. Optionally, the interval for certain entity types can be disabled which can be useful if you only need interval points on spirals or curves. To use a common alignment interval for all entity types, use the Lock Station Intervals check button.

Profile Interval Related Settings

The alignment interval settings may not be adequate alone to provide sufficient detail on alignment/profile combinations along curved profile entities. If this is the case, enabled the Use Profile Curve Interval option in conjunction with the Profile Curve Interval parameter to override the alignment interval settings where the profile passes through a curved profile entity.

Include/Exclude Geometry Points

By default, the start and end points for every alignment and profile entity will be included in the Calculated Stations list, along with high and low elevation points for each profile. In situations where you want to extract station samples at the quoted station intervals only, these options can be disabled to prevent the extar geometry points from being included in the list.

Alignment Geometry Labels

This set of options provide control over any localizable or customizable phrases for alignment entity or sub-entity types, spiral types, constraint types, and point types that appear in the ProjectExplorer user interface or in outgoing reports, spreadsheets, and AutoCAD tables.

Profile Geometry Labels

This set of options provide control over any localizable or customizable phrases for profile entity types, constraint types, curve types, and point types that appear in the ProjectExplorer user interface or in outgoing reports, spreadsheets, and AutoCAD tables.
