Introduction

This command creates USA style profile views, with or without bands at the bottom of the view frame.

<p> </p>
The inputs for display of the grid, profiles, bands and annotation is managed via a Treeview list of inputs, categorized by control: Settings, Bands and Annotations - this makes searching, adding and editing entries in profile view form easy. All items can be edited with a double click, whilst more mouse functionality has been incorporated with edit, delete & copy being available on the right click.

Entry items have been categorised for ease of use, making it easier to find and add items to the profile views.

1.    All settings are found at the top of the form - control grid spacing for the view, exaggeration, title, datum and output sheet names.

2.    All profiles and bands are available from the new pulldown at the bottom of the form. Adding a Band controls whether to display the profile, the band at the bottom and the heading.

3.    Annotations are typically associated with the design profile and are added here..

The Hyperlinks below can be used to jump to the relevant group of interest.

Upon starting the command a new layout tab is created named Plotting Preview, and a preview of the output profile view sheets is displayed in that layout.  The views in that layout are updated as the profile view plot output is edited.  Each sheet can subsequently be output to individual layouts, or each sheet can be output to individual files.

General Process

On starting the Profile View command the Designer is requested to "Select Alignment or Press Enter to Select from a List:".  So either select a string (represented by an alignment or polyine) in the drawing or if you press [Enter] a list box is displayed for selection of a String to plot.  Select a string and click OK, or Cancel to exit.  A Selection panel enables filtering of the list to particular types of Strings.

Following selection of a String the Profile View form will display.  Details are below.

Dynamics During Editing

When the Profile View window is displayed, any edits made to the vertical grading of the string, or other edits that trigger a rebuild of the model, will result in an immediate update of the profile views presented in the Section Preview layout tab.

Annotations can be grip edited using standard CAD commands (grip edit selection, move, rotate) and will maintain repositioned locations (subject to how the label style was defined).

Navigation

Right click functionality has be added to provide access to a number of tools. Double clicking has also been added to provide quick access item edits.

Profile Viewing - General

The Profile Viewer provides a great deal of flexibility in displaying cross section data. The Profile Viewer 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).

Using the Plot Controls

Annotation Items

Profile Annotation Styles

This controls the annotation/labels on the Design Profile.  Separate Label Styles can be applied to each aspect of the geometry - Vertical Curve start/end, grade breaks, tangent grade, high/low points, horizontal curve start/end, horizontal direction change, etc.

Plot Element/Style List For each geometry type, select a Label Style to apply - leave blank to omit any labels for this type of geometry point.

   VC Start (1) The vertical curves consist of a number of components:

Start of a vertical curve.  Recommended to include a Line component in the label style, with three segments to enable manual cranking of the linework in the drawing.  Line segment will be extended/shortened based on the Adjustment to ertical Details Y value and the Minimum Distance Design to Details Horizontal Line.
Refer image above.

    VC End (2) End of a vertical curve.  Recommended to include a Line component in the label style, with three segments to enable manual cranking of the linework in the drawing.  Line segment will be extended/shortened based on the Adjustment to ertical Details Y value and the Minimum Distance Design to Details Horizontal Line.
Refer image above.

    VC Details (3) (Normally) Horizontal line spanning between the VC Start and VC End vertical lines.  Recommended to include a Line component in the Label style, with one segment and blocks (for arrows) at start and end.  x values should be applied but will not be applied - x positions will be set by the VC Start and VC End lines.  y position of the line is set by the Minimum distance Design to Details Horizontal Line value.
Refer image above.

  VC IP Grade breaks and (subject to 'Only show VIP at Grade Break being ticked on) Vertical IP's

  VC Common TP Interface between back-to-back vertical curves (no tangent between)

  VC High Pt All profile high points

  VC Low Pt All profile low points

  VC Tangent Grade + uphill grade along tangents

  VC Tangent Grade - downhill grade along tangents

  Start Horizontal Curve Start of horizontal curve

  End Horizontal Curve End of horizontal curve

  Horizontal Common TP Alignment direction change not supported by a horizontal curve

Edit Style When a Style cell is selected in the Plot Element/Style List, this will open the Label Styles for profile or horizontal geometry label styles

Settings Manages how the vertical curve labels are displayed

  Adjustment to Vertical Details Y value (4) By default, the horizontal line for the Vertical Curve details is set to match the top of the Start VC and End VC lines.  This moves the line down (up) from the line ends.
Refer image above.

   Alternate symbol partial VC left end Often vertical curves are truncated at the start of a sheet - an alternate block can be assigned to indicate this.

   Alternate symbol partial VC right end Often vertical curves are truncated at the end of a sheet - an alternate block can be assigned to indicate this.

  Minimum distance Design to Details Horizontal Line (5) Sets the minimum distance for the location of the VC details above the profile line.
Refer image above.

  Only show VIP at Grade Break If ticked on, vertical curve IP's will be omitted - only grade breaks not supported with a vertical curve will be shown.
