Sideslope stakeout

ROAD

• The Sideslope stakeout function calculates the point of intersection of the project side slope with the existing terrain.

• The position is calculated based on the project slope, using a defined chainage and an offset from the reference axis.

• From the Roads page select Sideslope stakeout.

  

• Select the road to stakeout and press Select.

Station and interval

• The page allows to define the chainage for the road stakeout.

  

  • Station: the station to stakeout. Tap the icons to change the station of the defined Interval. Enter the station or tap on > to define the station using different methods:

    • Measure: measure using the current instrument to calculate the station at the measured position.

    • List: obtains the station from the list of available cross sections and change of road geometry (beginning of a curve, ending of a curve, etc.).

  • Interval: the interval to calculate the following stations. Tap on > to calculate the interval entering the number of segments the road has to be divided.

    

  • Surface: if the road design has multiple layers, allows to choose the layer to stakeout.

• On the right panel it is available a preview of the selected station.

  • : to show the station position on the horizontal alignment.

  • : to show the station position on the vertical alignment.

  • : to show the cross section at the defined station.

• Press Next.

Offset

• The following page allows to select the vertex of the cross section to stakeout.

  

• Tap on and to change to previous or next vertex.

• Tap on > to select the vertex from the cross section view, selecting also a different layer.

  

• Or enter manually the values of offset and elevation.

  • Offset: the horizontal distance from the centerline. A negative value is on the left side of the cross section.

  • Elevation: the elevation of the point to stakeout.

• Press Next to stakeout the point.

Design slopes

• The page requires to enter the design slope.

  

  • Cut: slope value in the cut condition. It is represented in the graphical preview with the red line.

  • Fill: slope value in fill condition. It is represented in the graphical preview with the blue line.

  • Slope from segment: allows to calculate the slope according to the same slope value of the cross section segment. This command is useful for example to extend the slope of a cross section segment.

• Press Next to stakeout the slope.

Stakeout the slope

• The commands to stakeout are very similar to the standard point stakeout, but shows information specific to the slope stakeout.

  

• The left bar shows the indications to stakeout the selected station..

• The bottom bar shows information on the position on the road design:

  • St: current station.

  • Of: current offset from centerline.

• Tap on to change the View mode. The default view is Cross sections view.

  • CAD: shows the CAD view with the horizontal alignment.

  • Compass: shows the compass.

  • Cross section: shows the cross sections view, that is the most useful in the slope stakeout.

    

• The bottom value in the left toolbar shows the stakeout information specific to the slope stakeout. Press to change information to display.

  

  • Current slope: shows the current slope from the reference vertex to the current position.

    

  • Vertical offset: shows the different elevation from the current position to the design slope.

    

  • Horizontal offset: shows the horizontal offset from the current position to the design slope.

    

• Press Measure to save the stakeout measure.

• Press Next to select the next station.

  

  • Next point: selects the next vertex on the cross section at the same station.

  • Next station: selects the next station and use the same vertex.

  • Previous point: selects the previous vertex on the cross section at the same station.

  • Previous station: selects the previous station and use the same vertex.
