Once all the horizontal and vertical alignment segments are defined,
Survey Pro merges the information to create a single 3-dimensional
line.
The vertical alignment (VAL) must be equal in length or greater than
the horizontal alignment. The HAL must not be greater than the
VAL.
Creating an Alignment
In this step-by-step example, we will create an alignment that has all
the possible horizontal and vertical segment types.
1. Select . Job , Edit Alignments from the
Main Menu. If any alignments exist in the
current job, they will be listed in this
screen. An existing alignment can then be
edited or deleted, but for this example, we
will create a new alignment.
2. Tap New… to create a new alignment.
This will open the Edit Alignments screen
where you can begin adding horizontal and
vertical segments.
3. Tap the POB tab and enter North, East and
Elev
coordinates of 5000, 5000, 100. This
will be the starting location of the
horizontal and vertical definition.
(Alternatively, you could define the starting
location by tapping the Location /
Point button where Point is displayed
and then select an existing point.)
