Offset Staking – Screen Two
The second Offset Staking screen is used to define the cross section of
the road that you want to offset stake.
1/2 Road Width: is the Left and Right width
of the road, respectively, from the centerline to
the edge of payment. (See diagram below.)
X-Slope (%): is the Left and Right slope of the
road, respectively, from the centerline to the
edge of payment.
Note: A negative slope will result in water
running from the centerline toward the edge of
payment.
; Stake Curb / Ditch : When checked, a curb or ditch and an offset
can be defined beyond the edge of the pavement.
Shape 1 / …2 / …3 : when the above checkbox is
checked, this button allows you to select the shape of the curb, ditch,
or slope beyond the edge of pavement so cut / fill information can be
computed on this surface if a random offset is specified. The selected
shape is displayed by an icon next to the button, as well as with a
bold line in the road’s cross-sectional profile at the bottom of the
screen.
Note: The selected Shape is irrelevant if a random offset is not
specified since the nodes are always in the same place for each shape
that uses the same Height and Offset values.
Height: is the height of the curb, ditch, or slope in feet or meters. A
positive value is considered a curb and a negative value a ditch.
Offset From Edge of Road: is the distance that the curb or ditch
extends from the edge of pavement.
