Editing cross-sections

Tool(s): Bridge/Civil Engineering Component + Modify Bridge/Civil Engineering Component

Note: After you have created a cross-section, the program converts it to a polyline.
If you have not yet modified a corner, you can still change the dimensions of the cross-section using the Modify cross-section tool. After you have modified the cross-section, you can only change the coordinates of the individual polygon points.

You have several options for modifying cross-sections:

• You can select and edit existing points by clicking a cross-section point in the tree structure or by clicking a point in the graphics area.
  This way you can
  • change the coordinates of the point.
  • delete the selected point.
  • number the cross-section starting with the selected point.
  • insert an arc and fillet a corner point. You can use the shortcut menu to modify and delete these arcs later.
• When you click a side of the cross-section, you can use the shortcut menu to select the midpoint of the cross-section edge.
• By defining another cross-section within an existing cross-section, you can cut out areas or create composite cross-sections.
  If you use the shortcut menu to select tools and cross-sections, the point clicked is used as the start point or reference point.
• You can add discrete partial cross-sections by defining another cross-section after you have selected Addition to Cross-Section.
  If you use the shortcut menu to select tools and cross-sections, the point clicked is used as the start point or reference point.
  You can remove additional partial cross-sections using Delete Addition to Cross-Section.
