Editing station points

Tool(s): Bridge/Civil Engineering Component + Modify Bridge/Civil Engineering Component

When it comes to editing station points, the program provides the same properties as for entering station points. You can define an offset for entering the coordinates and the angle in plan.
You can use the Arrange station points automatically option to sort the station points automatically based on their stationing.
When you have configured the program to automatically calculate the route in plan, you cannot make any definitions here.

Values of station points

Each station point has the following values:

• X, Y and Z coordinate (in m):
  The coordinates refer to the global coordinate system.
  If you have imported a route with individual sections and the new stationing is within the route, the X and Y coordinates cannot be defined.
  If the route profile is defined automatically, you do not need to specify the Z coordinate.
• Angle of rise (in °):
  If the angle is > 0°, the route rises; otherwise it falls. If the route profile is defined automatically, you do not need to specify the angle of rise.
• Angle in plan (in °):
  Positive angles result in a counter-clockwise rotation. If you have imported a route consisting of individual sections, and the new stationing is within the route, you cannot define the angle in plan.
• Stationing (in m):
  Offset to station origin.
  If you have imported a route with individual sections and the new stationing is within the route, the location of the station point in plan is determined automatically. If you enter a stationing outside the route, you need to specify the station point in plan. This defines a new straight section.

When you have defined a cross-section for the relevant station point, you can also modify the reference point's position in the cross-section and the rotation of the cross-section.

Note: You can configure the program to calculate the route in plan and the route profile automatically. Station points in curved sections in plan are marked with blue points and station points in curved sections in the route profile are marked with red poins. In addition, the dialog box provides you with detailed information.

• If you have imported a route that consists of individual sections, the X and Y coordinates, angle in plan and stationing cannot be modified.
• If automatic definition of the route profile is active, the Z coordinate, angle of rise and stationing cannot be modified.
