Offset Points
Cogo Offset Points .
The Offset Points screen is used to store points at a specified
perpendicular offset to an existing polyline, alignment, or point
range. Points can be stored that correspond with the nodes of an
alignment, points of a polyline, and/or at a specified station interval.
Tap Line… : allows you to tap an existing polyline or
alignment that the offset points will be computed from.
To/From… : allows you to enter a range of points that
define the line where the offset will be computed from.
Offset: defines the offset distance and which side the
offset occurs. The right or left side is referenced from the
first point that defines the selected line.
; Store Pts : When checked, will store the offset points
that are computed based on the selected line and which
of the two following checkboxes are checked.
Note: Leaving the Store Pts field unchecked and solving
the screen will result in a map screen that displays the
points that would be stored, but without actually storing anything to
the job. This is useful for testing the routine before storing
information.
; Store Nodes : When checked, computes offset points that
correspond to each node in the selected alignment (points where the
horizontal or vertical alignment change), or that correspond to the
existing points in a selected line or point range.
; Sta. Intervals : When checked, computes offset points from the
beginning of the selected line or point range, and at each specified
station interval along the line or point range.
Description: is the description that will be assigned to all points that
are stored.
