Component

A component is a list of shapes in its own frame: in the section x runs across (+ away from the centre line on the right side), y up from the insertion point; on the plan x runs along the alignment and y across (+ right). Every value can be an expression of the parameters – W/2, max(T, 0.15), sqrt(1+K^2), if(D>1, 0.2, 0.15).

Polygons are filled with their material and measured; "|" in the points starts a hole (the cell of a box culvert). Circles with an inner radius make pipes. Component inserts another one (a girder in a deck, a sleeper under the rails), repeated N times every Step. Along line draws a line along the whole run on the plan (rails, drain walls, kerbs).

On the plan: Along the alignment repeats the plan shapes every Spacing metres (sleepers 0.6, posts 3); A symbol draws them once at the chainage of a placement (a culvert, a mast, a pole). Mirrored on the left makes drains and kerbs face outwards on both sides; Turns with the slope sets a sleeper on a canted track.

    Components – drains, culverts, track, bridges…

    The component library: RCC U-drains with cover slabs, masonry and earthen drains, box and pipe culverts, retaining walls, rails, sleepers, ballast and the whole track, OHE masts, bridge decks, girders and piers, crash barriers, kerbs, poles and fences – drawn as built with their materials. Make your own with parameters (W, D, T …), keep them in your library, export and import them.
