Slopes Card
The Slopes card is used to specify the cut and fill slopes
that will be used when computing the location of the
catch point. The default values are the slopes stored in
the template for the section being staked. To override a
default slope, check the appropriate box and key in the
new slope. The new slope entered will always be used
regardless of the values stored in the templates.
Changes to slopes will be reflected in the V. Map card
graphic.
Cut Slope: is the left and right slope, respectively, used when the
terrain requires a cut (the hinge point is located below the terrain’s
surface).
Fill Slope: is the left and right slope, respectively, used when the
terrain requires a fill (the hinge point is located above the terrain’s
surface).
Cut/Fill Hinge Points Cards
The Fill Hinge Points tab and the Cut Hinge Points tab are used to
select the segment where you want the hinge point location to be
computed from in situations requiring a fill or a cut respectively.
(The hinge point will occur at the node of the selected segment
furthest from the centerline.) The hinge point can also be defined at
different segments for the left and right sides of the road.
Left / Right: is the specified left and right segment,
respectively, to compute the hinge point. Changes to
these fields will be reflected in the V. Map card graphic.
