Scope of station points displayed

Tool(s): Properties of the bridge/civil engineering designer

You can specify which station points are displayed and how they are named in the General Properties, Route tab. The full range of selection options is only provided when both the route in plan and the route profile are calculated automatically by the program.
The new settings are applied when you click the Update route button or exit the dialog box. You cannot hide the start and end points of the route.

Show station points

This is where you can show and hide individual types of station points.

Characteristic station points – plan

When a route is imported, the program automatically creates these points at the transition points of the individual route sections. You cannot delete these points.

Characteristic station points – route profile

When the route profile is defined automatically, the program creates these points at the transition points of the individual route sections. You cannot delete these points.

Regular spacing between station points

The program automatically creates these points at the offset specified. Changing the offset causes the program to place the new points.

Station points defined in addition

These are the points the user has defined.

Station points with cross-section definition

These are the points for which a cross-section has been defined.

Station point name

This is where you can specify which components are to be included in the station point name. If consists of the point number, the station point properties and, if necessary, an additional identifier for characteristic station points.

Characteristic station points – plan

This is an additional identifier for station points at the transition points of the individual route sections in plan. The letter Pl stands for ”route in plan”; the additional identifier represents the type of the route section (St: straight route section, Cu: curved route section).

Characteristic station points – route profile

This is an additional identifier for station points at the transition points of the route profile. The letter Pr stands for ”route profile”; the additional identifier represents the type of the point and of the section (Co: corner, He: height, St: straight route section, Cu: curved route section).

Point coordinate

These are the station point properties.
