Find Station
To identify the station by computing the distance from the beginning of the road to the projection of the point to the road and to calculate the offset of the point from the center line of the road.
The dialog offers tools to specify a road / alignment, select or measure a point, calculate the station and offset and review and save the calculation results. Use the view selector in the dialog title bar to switch between Input view, Map view and Results view:
- Input view - contains tools to enter data for calculation and to initiate calculation.
- Map view - displays the calculation results graphically showing the selected road / alignment, the given point, the calculated station (point projection to the road center line / alignment) and the offset line.
- Results view - displays the calculation results and offers to save them, click
to export the results to a *.txt file.
Use the Input view to select a road / alignment and a point to perform the calculation:
Use the Results view and Map view to review the results of the Find Station calculation:
- Review the Find Station calculation results:
- Point - the name of the point, the Find Station calculation was performed for.
- Station - the calculated station for the point projection to the road center line / alignment.
- Offset - the horizontal distance between the point and the point projection to the road center line / alignment, positive for the right offset relative to the road / alignment direction, negative for the left offset.
- Cut / Fill - the vertical distance from the point to the road surface, negative for Cut values, positive for Fill values (available if a road is used in calculation).
- Grade - the road x-section grade value for the point position (available if a road is used in calculation and the point position is within the working corridor of the road surface).
- For the optical survey configuration, additional data is also included in the results: occupation setup, angle and slope distance measurement values and calculated point coordinates for the point measured by total station.
