A cross section gives a profile view. It requires vertical
alignment or actual elevation on each station.
The
constituting elements
are straight elements. The points
are called vertices. You may optionally define slopes at the
vertices most left and most right.
Points are definined
by:
•
∆
H and
∆
V
•
∆
H and slope in percentage
•
∆
H and slope ratio
∆
H
horizontal distance from the centre line
∆
V
vertical distance from the centre line (vertical
alignment or actual elevation mandatory)
