Tangent Offset
The Tangent Offset method computes a
perpendicular offset length (Tangent
Offset) from the PC-PI line to the current
station and the distance on the PC-PI line
from the PC to the Tangent Offset
(Tangent Distance).

Chord Offset
The Chord Offset method computes a
perpendicular offset length from the PC-PT
line to the current station (Chord Offset),
the distance on the PC-PT line from the PC
to the chord offset (Chord Distance), the
distance from the PC to the current station
(Chord Length) and the deflection angle
from the PC-PT line to the PC-Station line.
