Axis data

Display the detailed data of the axis of the plan and elevation as well as the calculated 3D spline

Note: This function is analogously available for transversal axes and accompanying (polygonal) axes, whereby this data is output with respect to the characteristics of these types of axes, thus, certain data is no available (N/A).

Note: The displayed data can also be exported to an Excel table using the function Export to Excel File (action bar Results).

To show the axis data

1. Right-click on the entry of the axis of which you want to show the data to open the context menu and select the menu item Show axis data.
2. Define the following parameters for displaying the axis data in the opening input window:

Step

Step width for the stations along the axis to be displayed at which the data should be output (starting with the first axis station)

Transition points

Show the data at the stations of the transition points between different sections of axes (characteristic axis points, tangent intersection points, begin and end of rounding)

After confirming with OK, the data is displayed in a table for the defined stations in the View window as follows:

Plan

DStation

Difference of the stations of the viewed to the previous station point

Transition

Type of the axis element starting at this station point

• POINT: Point
• LINE: Straight
• CIRCLE: Circular arc
• SPIRAL(A)(A=value): Spiral by parameter (A) with the respective value
• SPIRAL(L): Spiral defined by length (L)
• BLOSS0KL: Bloss spiral (curvature = 0 at the begin)
• BLOSSK0L: Bloss spiral (curvature = 0 at the end)
• BLOSSKKL: Bloss spiral (curvature <> 0 at the beging and end)

East / North

Coordinates in plan related to the global coordinate system of the east- and north axis

Angle

Absolute direction angle in plan related to the global coordinate system (i.e. east axis, positive in counterclockwise direction)

Radius

Radius in plan (positive to the left in axis direction)

DEast

Difference of the coordinates of the viewed to the previous station point in the direction of the east axis (signed)

DNorth

Difference of the coordinates of the viewed to the previous station point in the direction of the north axis (signed)

DAngle

Difference of the angles of the viewed to the previous station point (signed)

DRadius

Difference of the radii of the viewed to the previous station point (signed)

Distance [only in case of polygonal accompanying axis]

Distance of the polygonal axis to the reference axis at the viewed station point (signed)

Profile

Polygon point

Rounding type (Radius)

Type of the polygon point (tangent intersection point of the profile) at this station point

• PNULL: Polygon point without rounding
• PARA_RAD(R=Value): Polygon point with parabolic rounding and radius R
• CIRC_RAD(R=Value): Polygon point with circular rounding and radius R
• PARA_DST: Asymmetric rounding with two parabolic branches defined by offsets before and after the polygon point
• PARA_NXT: Parabolic rounding of three lines of a polygon course

Height

Absolute height of the polygon point related to the global coordinate system (Y-axis)

Angle

Direction angle in elevation related to the global coordinate system (angle to the ground plan, positive in the direction of the Y-axis)

Curve

Transition

Type of the curve of the profile starting at this station point

• LINE: Straight
• PARABOLA: Parabola

Height

Absolute height of the curve (profile) at the viewed station point related to the global coordinate system (Y-axis)

Angle

Direction angle of the curve (profile) at the viewed station point in elevation related to the global coordinate system (angle to the ground plan, positive in the direction of the Y-axis)

DHeight

Difference of the absolute heights of the curve (profile) at the viewed to the previous station point (signed)

DAngle

Difference of the direction angles of the curve (profile) at the viewed to the previous station point (signed)

Height shift [only in case of polygonal accompanying axis]

Difference of the absolute heights between the polygonal accompanying axis and the reference axis at the viewed station point (signed)
