Survey Cross Section

To perform the survey of the cross section:

  1. Select between Road, H Alnt and None as required.
  2. Enter the name of the Road / Horizontal alignment manually or select it from the list .
  3. When no alignment is selected (None), enter the Centerline Code from the drop-down list. Click the Code button to set attributes. More...
  4. The centerline code must be a valid line code to apply to the surveyed points for creating the alignment.

    If the road has not been set, define the plane. On the first station, the survey is performed so that every next point has a different code, for example A, B, C, cl, D, E, F. Press to automatically change the station number. The application suggests that the survey on the next station uses the same codes in the opposite order: F, E, D, cl, C, B, A. The line is created along the points with the cl code.

  5. Set the X-Sect Sta where the cross section will be surveyed. You can select any road point as a current point. To do it, click in this field and select any road point in the Road Point dialog.
  6. Enter the Interval of distance towards the next station.
  7. Select the Use Horizontal Transition Points check box to include transition points, in spite of the station distance.
  8. Select the Use automatic X-Section Station check box to automatically set a next nearest X-section station to survey.
  9. Click to start measurements.

Optionally, you can open the Roads dialog to edit the road. To do this, select the option Edit Roads from the pop-up menu that displays by clicking in the top left corner.


Pole Measurement

The Pole Measurement dialog allows you, when conducting a x-section survey, to create a point calculated as an offset from the point that was measured with a GNSS receiver or TS.

Taking pole-measured points is useful when you are unable to measure them directly.

Mind the following:


To create a pole point:

The dialog shows the stored points graphically. All the survey process can be done through this view as well. It contains the information similar to the Normal View.

The Map View contains:
