  • Press > and < to change layer.

  • The left panel lists the vertexes of the cross section with horizontal offset and elevation.


Cross section templates

  • The page lists the cross section templates that have been manually assigned to the selected road.

    image-20260804-125431.png
  • This allows to apply cross sections to a road when designing a road.

    image-20260804-100033.png

The cross section templates are designed in X-Sections template page.

  • Press New to add a new template.

    image-20260804-100127.png
    • Station: the station where to apply this cross section.

    • Left: the template to use for the left side of the road. Click to select a template from the list of available templates defined in X-Sections template.

    • Right: the template to use for the right side of the road. Click to select a template from the list of available templates defined in X-Sections template.

  • Press Save.

  • The selected template will be used from the selected station until the following station where a different template is selected.

Cross sections templates can be rotated or modified using Superelevation and Widenings options.


Superelevation

  • The page allows to specify superelevation values to use along the road axis.

    image-20260804-125450.png
  • This function is useful to add a rotation on the curves and on clothoids to cross sections.

    image-20260804-125540.png
  • Press New to add a new superelevation.

    image-20260804-125558.png
    • Station: chainage to which refer the values of superelevation.

    • Left: left superelevation.

    • Right: right superelevation.

  • Click Save.

  • The values of superelevation are interpolated and applied to the corresponding elements of the section model.

The calculated values for superelevation are applied only to those elements of the section model that are identified as items to rotate and enlarge.


Widenings

  • The page allows to specify widening values to use along the road axis.

  • This function is useful to add a widening to road elements when designing a road in the field.

    image-20260804-125631.png
  • Press Add to add a new widening.

    image-20260804-125650.png
    • Station: chainage to which refer the values of widening.

    • Left: left widening.

    • Right: right widening.

  • Press Save.

  • The values of widening are interpolated and applied to the corresponding elements of the section model.

The calculated values for widening are applied only to those elements of the section model that are identified as items to rotate and enlarge.


Road edges

  • This page lists the road axis assigned as edges to the selected road.

    image-20260804-094258.png
  • The page allows also to assign available road axis as edges to the selected road, for example when a road is imported from a DXF file.

  • Press Add to select available roads in Road Manager as road edges to the selected road.
