Stake Out Alignments
relative to alignment, and converted to actual coor-
dinates at design points generation time. They can be
used to stake some non-regular elements at or near
the alignment.
After the alignment has been entered, it is converted,
according to certain rules, into a set of design points,
which are actually used in staking process. Design
points are assigned station and offset values and code
according to their position along the alignment.
Tutorial — Creating an Alignment
Let us illustrate process of defining an alignment with
a simple example. The alignment will contain horizon-
tal & vertical components, symmetrical cross-section
with two segments to the left and two to the right,
narrowing and widening back closer to the end of the
alignment, and also two offset points (Figure 2).
