Horizontal alignment

The IPs of the alignment: the first row is the start point, the last the end point. Radius 0 means no curve at that IP, Ls 0 a simple circular curve. IRC radius and Ls sets the minimum radius and transition for the design speed.

The plan and the curve table follow every change; Draw plan puts the plan with chainage ticks and curve tables on the drawing, Curve report writes the Excel table. IPs can come from a polyline (AutoCAD) or a CSV file (Name, Easting, Northing, Radius, Ls).

A project can keep several alignments; the one marked ★ is the alignment of the sections (coordinates, superelevation, LandXML).

Commands

  • CXHALIGN

    Horizontal alignment and plan…

    IPs with spiral–circular–spiral curves, IRC radius and transition checks, curve table and Excel curve report, plan with chainage ticks.

  • CXCURVES

    Superelevation and widening on curves…

    How the templates change on the curves of the alignment: superelevation and IRC extra widening for roads, cant and formation widening for railways – per curve worked out from the speed or typed, with the superelevation diagram. The marked template elements turn and widen when the templates are applied.

  • CXTINSEC

    Cross sections from survey points…

    Sample ground levels from a TIN of survey points at stations and offsets along the alignment.

  • CXPLANCS

    Draw section lines on the plan

    Draw the section lines (and levels) of the project on the alignment plan.
