Description : is the description that will be assigned to the new points
that are generated or to the new alignment.
6ROYH : computes and stores the new offset points and polyline.
Offset Points
&RJR 2IIVHW 3RLQWV
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.
7DS /LQH« : allows you to tap an existing polyline or
alignment that the offset points will be computed from.
7R)URP« : 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.
