Vertical Alignment (Menu - Draw)

This menus have drawing options and command to draw alignment, speed profile diagram, label in current drawing.

1. Options

- Table list : as the follow figure, select the items below the vertical curve drawing.

- Import : import a file exported before.

- Export : export this options to file.

- Initialize : initialize the spreadsheet and table list.

- Read Begin/End Sta : add the starting station and the ending station in horizontal alignment to the right spreadsheet.

- Option / Value

• draw-GL : to draw the GL entity, check it.
• draw-DL : to draw the DL entity, check it.
• draw-BVC/EVC : to draw BVC and EVC in vertical drawing, check it.
• draw-Layer : to draw the layer entities, check it.
• draw-Bridge : to draw the bridge entities, check it.
• draw-Tunnel : to draw the tunnel entities, check it.
• draw-Culvert : to draw the culvert entities, check it.
• draw-Pipe : to draw the pipe entities, check it.
• draw-Table : as follow figure, if check it, draw the table under GL(or DL) entities

• draw-Grid : to draw grid line in vertical drawing, check it.
• draw-Boring : to draw boring logs in vertical drawing, check it.
• Scale-x : fixed (1000)
• Scale-y : if the value is less than 1000, expand the vertical drawing to the y-axis direction. 
• Text-Slope : height of text entities written about slope of PVI.
• Text-Pole : height of text entities written at elevation pole.
• Text-BVC/EVC : height of text entities written about BVC, PVI and EVC.
• Table-EL of Table : elevation of inserting table.
• Table-Offset of Table : distance between minimum value of elevation pole and table.
• Table-Text Height : height of text in table.
• Table-Chain : distance between stations written.
• Table-Height of Header : text height of table header.
• Table-Wid of Header Box :  width of table header box.
• Table-H of Header Box : height of table header box.
• Table-Offset of Header Box : distance from header box to first station in vertical drawing.
• Table-Decimal Point : decimal point of values in table.
• Indicator/Indicator[STA]/Size of Contents/Height of Contents : show the following figure.

2. Alignment

2.1 GL
 draw the entities made by ground level and layers.

2. 2 Build & DL
draw the entities made by design level, bridges, tunnels, culverts and pipes, after execute  "Build DL"

2. 3 DL
 draw the entities made by design level, bridges, tunnels, culverts and pipes.


2.4 Slope Graph
 draw the vertical slope graph as following figure.

3. Climbing

3.1 Speed Profile [Forward]
when a heavy vehicle drives for station increasing, draw a speed profile of the vehicle.

3.2 Speed Profile [Backward]
 When for station decreasing, draw a speed profile.

4. Horizontal

4. 1 Curve
  draw the horizontal curve with stations which are beginning and ending of bridges and tunnels and bridge piers.

4. 2 GL
 draw a 3d polyline entitiy with ground elevation.

5. Label

5.1 Point->STA (Hor)

 draw the point picked on horizontal alignment.To pick the point, show a radius, design level, vertical slope and offset distance on it.

5.2 Section (Hor)

 draw the section picked on horizontal alignment. Show the distance from first-picked point to second-picked point.

5.3 Point->STA (Ver)
 draw the point picked on vertical alignment. To pick it, show a design level, slope and ground level.

6. Clear Entity
 erase the entities by vertical alignment commands.
