Introduction

THIS IS NOW A LEGACY COMMAND - THE LATEST FUNCTIONALITY TO SECTION PLOTTING IS FROM THE CROSS SECTION PLOTS COMMAND.

Following any sort of road design, it is likely that there will be a need to create cross section plots of the design for documentation and tendering purposes. The CSD Roads software includes the capacity to very quickly create cross section plots and with full control over the layout, scales, linetypes, colours, title blocks and other customisable drafting outputs.

The Cross Section Plotting command provides extensive tools for the presentation of a road design cross sections. Once the parameters have been set up, they can be saved as a named "style", so that they can easily be used for the other roads in the current drawing, or any other drawing.

Suggested Procedure

Initial Set Up - defining drafting output required

Make a list of the layers, line types and colours required for your Cross Section plots.

Use the Edit Plotting Layers command to establish the layers to be used.

If you have a Plot Style already defined, click on and the display will update.  If not, follow the following steps:

Start a Cross Sections plot.  Select the General tab for overall layout and plotting scales.  Adjust to your anticipated needs.

Change to the Row Options tab and select the Set Row Information and complete the data there.

Select the Formatting tab and check the data there changing anything obvious to your requirements.

Select each of the remaining Tabs and establish required settings.

Start a cross section plot, select the Set Plotting Layers Button from the Row Options tab and if it is required to adjust any layers established in the Edit Plotting Layers form.

Save the settings with the button as required.  An indication of the plot type and plotting scales in the file name may prove desirable e.g. Urban_100.

Final Setup - Suggested Procedure

Plot the drawings and review the plotted output compared with your specific requirements.

In most cases only a minor review of the options will be needed.

If there are aspects of the plot which do not meet your needs review the documentation below for guidelines as to extra features available.  Try different settings as required.

Save the settings to temporary files as you test.

When you have established a "settings set" to meet your needs save them to a permanent file, or to a series of files with variations (eg: Urban_250_50 for 1:250 horizontal scale and 1:50 vertical scale, Urban_500_100 for 1:500 horizontal scale and 1:100 vertical scale).

Finish Plotting using a saved Plot Style

Start the Plot Cross Section command.

Select Load Style and select the required settings file.

Select Plot to Layout or Plot to File to output the cross sections.

Details

On starting the cross section plot command the Designer is requested to "Select Alignment or Press Enter to Select from a List:".  So either select a Road Object in the drawing or if you press [Enter] the list box is displayed as shown below.

List of Road Alignment Objects A list of Road Objects will appear in the main window of the form.  Initially ALL Road Objects will be displayed in this list.  Should the user want to shorten the list, select the appropriate button in the Selection options below.
The user must highlight one Road Object before picking [OK] or pick the Select from Drawing Button.

Selection The user has the ability to change the list of Road Objects by selecting the appropriate radio button.

  All Selecting ALL will show all Road Objects.

  Roads Only alignments with a 'r-' in the description field will be listed.

  Cul-de-Sacs Only alignments with a 'cds-' in the description field will be listed.

  Knuckles Only alignments with a 'n-' in the description field will be listed.

  Kerbs Only alignments with a 'k-' in the description field will be listed.

OK Apply and continue Plotting.  The user must highlight one Road Object in the abovelist before picking OK or pick the Select from Drawing Button.

Select from Drawing Return back to Model space to select the Road Object.

Cancel Exit this command without Plotting.

Help Open the Help file and display this information.

After a Road has been selected and [OK] has been pressed a form is then displayed to allow the selection of sections to be shown in the cross section plot.

Use this form to select the required sections for the cross section plotting.

Selected Sampled Sections Use only the Selected Sections list previously set up for plotting.

All Sampled Sections Use All the extracted sections for plotting.

Edit Selected Sampled Sections List Select this to edit the list of chainages to use for plotting.

Cancel Exit this command without plotting.

Help Open the Help file and display this information.

After selecting either Selected Sampled Sections or All Sampled Sections, a preliminary set of cross sections is plotted into a layout tab called PlotPreview and the Cross Section form as discussed below is opened.

Cross Section Plotting - General

The cross section plotting provides a great deal of flexibility in displaying cross section data. The cross section plotting process can create a series of Layout tabs within the current drawing. Alternatively the process can create a series of separate drawing files which can be plotted or used as a external reference file (XREF).

See the section Suggested Procedure above for generating and controlling your cross section plot display.

Using the Plot Controls

After starting the command the first sheet of the Cross Sections for the selected Road is shown as a plot preview in the PlotPreview Layout tab.  A multi-tabbed form is displayed providing the Designer with the capability of changing all aspects of the plot appearance.  The form to control the total output is as follows:

Click on one of the Tabs at the top of the form (General, Row Options, Formatting, Select, Chainage, Datum, Crossfalls, Extra Offsets), shown left, to find out more about each tab.
The functional buttons available from all Tabs are described below:

Display Controls This allows to user to select different pages to display if there is more than one and provides standard zoom functions.

Pick list for selecting which page to view.

Pick list for selecting which cross section to zoom to.

  Zoom Extents Click on this button to zoom the entire sheet view.

  Zoom to Window Click on this button and then to zoom or pan in the PlotPreview use the mouse wheel.

Load/Save Plot Style This allows the user to save the current plotting setup as style that can be later loaded for use on other jobs.

Save a copy (style set) of the current output settings.  Note: All plot style settings are saved in the 'common' folder where configuration files are stored - click here for more information regarding storage of configuration files.

Load a saved plot style set from the Save Style command.

Plotting Options The user can either plot to Layout tabs or separate files. If any variable has been changed, the buttons in this area will be covered with an Update Display button, which must be selected before continuing.

This button will output the plot sheets into separate Layout tabs within the current drawing.

This button will output the plot sheets as separate drawing files.  Files will be generated in the same directory as the drawing file in the folder /'[drawing file name]-Data'/AdvRoads-10/Xsects

  Cancel Exit this command without Plotting.

  Help Open the Help file and display this information.

This will update the preview display after making a change to the display controls.  The control does not show unless a change has been made and not Updated.

Principles of Common Settings

Individual Tabs

Return to Top    Return to Plot Controls    Return to Suggested Procedure

General tab

This tab enables the Designer to set the overall layout characteristics for display of cross sections in the section plot.

X Scale This sets the Horizontal scale for the plot.

Y Scale This sets the Vertical scale for the plot.

Titleblock Select a title block from the drop down list.
The list of available files derives from the Edit Title Block Settings command (help available from the CSD General Help System).

Left Margin Set the offset from the left edge of the plotting area to the start of the plotting.  The value is in plotted millimetres/inches.

Right Margin Set the minimum offset from the right edge of the plotting area to the end of the plotting.  If this distance is exceeded the program will start additional tabs/drawings as required.  The value is in plotted millimetres/inches.

Bottom Margin Set the offset from the bottom edge of the plotting area to the start of the plotting.  The value is in plotted millimetres/inches.

Top Margin Set the minimum offset from the top edge of the plotting area to the start of the plotting.  The value is in plotted millimetres/inches.

Column Spacing Spacing between columns of cross section data.  The value is in plotted millimetres/inches.

Fixed/Variable Rows There are two options for setting the height between each cross section:

Variable: If selected, the value entered opposite Variable Row Spacing is used to separate sections vertically.

Fixed Distance: If selected, the value entered opposite Fixed Row Spacing is used to separate sections vertically.  This option will produce rows that are aligned across the drawing sheet.

Fixed Row Spacing If Fixed Distance has been set, this is the height between each cross sections row. The value is in plotted millimetres/inches.

Variable Row Spacing If Variable has been set, this is the height between each cross sections row. The value is in plotted millimetres/inches.

Left Line Width Offset distance to show cross section line work to the left.  See note below.

Left Text Width Offset distance to show the offset/level text information about the cross section.  See note below.

Right Line Width Offset distance to show cross section line work to the right.  See note below.

Right Text Width Offset distance to show the offset/level text information about the cross section.  See note below.

Column Method There are three options to control the distance between each Select from

Fixed Distance - do not change the column widths.

No Overlap - spread the columns so there is not an overlap. Spacing set by the "Column Spacing" above

With Overlap - allow overlap.  The overlap amount is specified by the next field "Max Col Overlap"

This feature is designed to allow the column widths to vary, if the batter points go outside the left/right text widths specified above.

Max Col Overlap Enter the distance for the maximum column overlap.  The value is in plotted millimetres/inches.

Note: Expect unusual results if the Line Width and Text Width values are not matched.  These Widths can be overridden via the Row Data/Band Form controls.
