Terrain section

Longitudinal- or rather cross-sections can be generated with the terrain section of BBSoft®. These illustrate one or several surfaces as well as cutting elements. The terrain section mainly exemplifies the course of the ground along an alignment.

Further features:

• creation of a section course: either via input of beginning-, intermediate- and end coordinates or via mouse-click
• a line is the default for the section course: via a special command this can be rounded after creation
• the drawing direction of section corresponds to the stationing direction of stations: with the help of a special command you can turn round the stationing
• via element-command a shifting of the axis (togehther with the stationing) is possible
• section-templates can be adapted individually: the layout of the section (head and positioning of texts) is adjustable
• it is possible to insert measuring points into an already drawn/existing profile
• the difference height to another DTM can be displayed in a separate string
• measuring point numbers and codings can be displayed in separate strings
• presentation of crossing 3D-solids in the longitudinal section
• a grid with electable distance can be displayed for better orientation
• the predefinition of not vertical and asymmetrical cross-sections is possible
• a reference horizon can be determined as reference line, which is then valid for all profiles
• drawing of profiles with or without superelevation
• the subsequent editing of drawn profiles is easily possible
• settings for every section are saved related to object
• the stationing inscription can be provided with a background color
• the highest and the lowest point of a DTM can be determined in the section: these emerge as crossing elements
