Highway Surface Modeling

The Highway Surface Modeling window display when generating a 3D surface model by attaching the cross sections to the horizontal cogo. If there is no horizontal cogo, the surface generated will run south to north in a straight line.

 

 

Layer Replacement

Check the box for the surfaces to be rendered.

 

 

Station Interval

Enter the distance between the stations on the generated surface. If this value is less than the cross section station interval, the program will interpolate the intermediate stations.

 

 

Alignment

Name of the alignments in highway mode.

 

 

Render Last

Determines which alignment will be generated last, which will be staged into the previously surfaced alignments.

 

 

Use Vertical Cogo

Check this box if you wish to use the vertical cogo for elevation, rather than the cross section data itself.

 

 

Vertical Cogo Offset

Enter the offset from the vertical cogo to account for the difference between the vertical profile and the cross section reference point. Enter a negative value to lower the elevation to account for sectional depth.

 

 

Grade Point Offset

Enter the distance between the horizontal reference and the vertical profile reference.  Enter a negative value if the offset it to the left.

 

 

Enable Rendering

Check the box of the alignments you want to generate a surface.

 

 

Click OK and the surfaces will be generated and return to Sitework Edit mode.
