Add / Edit Template Screen
[Roads] [Edit Roads] ([New…] or [Edit…]) [Templates] ([Add…] or [Edit…])
The Add / Edit Template screen allows you to add a template to the road or edit an existing template.
Template: The Template column lists all the templates that can be added to the road. Selecting a template will display
an image of that template in the lower corner of the screen. Once the first template is added, this box will only list
templates with the same number of segments as the first.
Start Sta: is the location of the template on the alignment.
[Check…]: opens the Roads Report screen and displays any errors.
[New…]: opens the New Template screen, which is identical to the Edit Template screen, where a new template can
be created.
[Edit…]: opens the Edit Template screen where the selected template can be modified, although accessing the
templates editor from here will not allow inserting or removing of segments.
The Widenings Card
[Roads] [Edit Roads] ([New…] or [Edit…]) [Widenings]
The Widenings card of the New Road screen is used to add or edit widenings.
A widening is a section of a road that changes in width, but does not necessarily require any new templates. The road
width is adjusted by changing only the width of the first segment of the template that leads into the beginning of the
widening. Any additional segments, like those that may describe a sidewalk or ditch, are not adjusted.
The following rules must be considered when adding a widening to a road:
A widening must have a starting station and an ending station or a length.
Left and right widenings are separate and independent of each other.
The start and end stations must occur within the boundaries of the alignment.
The starting station must occur before the ending station.
The beginning of a widening must match the width of the previous widening or template.
The end of a widening must match the next template or widening unless it is the last element in the road.
The beginning or ending of a widening cannot occur within the boundaries of another widening, but the
beginning of one widening can occur at the same station as the end of a previous widening.
Widenings are always positioned by their start station.
[Add…]: when a widening or is selected from the L or R columns in the Widenings card, this button opens the
Add Widening screen, which allows you to add a widening to the same side of the road that was selected.
[Edit]: allows you to edit the selected widening in the Edit Widening screen, which is identical to the Add Widening
screen.
[Remove]: removes the selected widening from the list.
