Spiral

You can use this tool to draw transition arcs between lines and circles. The elements must neither intersect nor touch.

Import, Export Point File

You can use this tool to import point files and location line files in a variety of formats or export points and coordinates to a file. The files can be imported to or exported from any folder.

Terrain Point

You can use this tool to create points with point symbols (2D or 3D), primary and secondary point numbers, stations and point coding.

Grid

You can use this tool to create a grid. You can use this tool to place temporary reference points as an aid to orientation in the superordinate national coordinate system.

Parallel Line Segments

You can use this tool to draw lines parallel to a composite element or a part thereof.

Divide Element

You can use this tool to divide an existing element or a line that you enter into a number of equal segments. When you open this tool in the 2D Objects task area, the program places point symbols at the division points. When you open this tool in the Site Plan task area, the program places terrain points.

Station Element

You can use this tool to apply stations based on the parameters set in Modify Composite Element.

Perpendicular through Station

You can use this tool to drop perpendiculars from stations onto other elements, e.g., from the location line of a route onto the lines parallel to it. You can enter a transverse slope that is either constant or defined by a torsion line. Point symbols are automatically placed on the points of intersection.

Label

You can use this tool to label a composite element based on the parameters set in Modify Composite Element. You can label the site and height, as well as creating and labeling curve traces and torsion traces.

Test Control Point

You can use this tool to check whether the required minimum distances to a location line have been observed.

Road Details

You can use this tool to analyze existing information from a route and output this in the form of a list. If the road location line exists, up to four roadway shoulders to the left and right of the location line can be calculated. The spacing from the location line, the absolute height and the transverse slope relative to the location line are listed for each station.

Site Plan Legend

You can use this tool to create a legend based on the coordinates of terrain points. This legend will be derived from the selected drawing files or the NDW file and placed in the active document. You can define the terrain points that you want to consider by means of the drawing file filter or layer filter.
Depending on the setting, ALLPLAN automatically updates the legend when you change the document.

Modify Element Parameters

You can use this tool to create or modify simple or adjacent elements (lines, circles, spirals).

Modify Terrain Point

You can use this tool to modify the parameters of terrain points.

Modify Terrain Point Height

You can use this tool to modify the height of terrain points - for example, to modify the point symbols on an element so that they automatically adjust to a gradient drawn in 2D. The only requirement is that the terrain points must exist as 3D symbols.

Skew

Tight curves, road openings, etc. sometimes need to be enlarged in order to accommodate heavy trucks, for example. You can use this tool to skew manually or automatically (according to RAS guidelines).

Fillet and Tangent

This tool works just like the Fillet tool. In addition, you can reduce the radius of the fillet. This makes it easier to fit in spirals later.

Update, Modify Blanking

You can use this tool to update or modify the blanking of lines, pattern lines, splines and clothoids around point symbols.
The point symbols or lines connecting the point symbols assume the setting set in Blanking on/off.
