Plotting a road longitudinal section

[shaun jeneke]

HI GUYS,
I HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY WHEN PLOTTING A LONG SECTION OF A ROAD. I CANT GET A FILE TO PLOT THE CENTRE LINES AND ROAD EDGES.
IS THERE A PLOT FILE TO PLOT SUCH A LONGSECTION?
CHEERS

If you are using a Long Section PPF File then it is set into the file. Go to >Boxes>"Offset Strings" and define the edge strings as separate sets. switch the "offset draw mode" to draw selesct your left and right search distance (for the side the string is on), colour and choose whether the strings' heights will be labeled in the boxes. If you choose to Label the Heights don't forget to add the extra boxes (at >boxes) and relcate all relevant data.
