Criteria


Question:
've noticed that by the default, the offset chain name and station are labeled for you when processing the VL Criteria with configuration 2. As an option I can also label the offset distance to the baseline. Can the Vertical Line Criteria be modified to automate the inclusion of the offset chain profile elevation?

Answer:
The Vertical Line Criteria has been modified to include the option to label the corresponding offset chain profile elevation. Define "VL01 PROFILE" Criteria Variable with a valid Geopak COGO name. Note that this is not the shape cluster baseline (shape chain) and not the shape cluster profile elevation (shape grade point).

For example:
DEFINE "VL01 CHAIN" PGLLFTT
DEFINE "VL01 PROFILE" EXPGLLFTT

If "VL01 PROFILE" Criteria Variable is not defined with VL Criteria Config 2, then the elevation is not labeled on the cross sections. By default, "VL01 PROFILE" is not defined.
