Slope and Delta X

Point: Slope and Delta X

Add a point that is located a specified slope and offset from another point.

Properties

Specify the following parameters in the Properties panel.

Point
Point Number	Specifies the point number. You can change the automatically generated Point Number value.
Point Codes	Specifies the codes assigned to the point.
Point Geometry Type
Type	Specifies the point type: Angle and Delta X Angle and Delta Y Angle and Distance Delta X and Delta Y Delta X on Surface Interpolate Point Slope and Delta X Slope and Delta Y Slope to Surface
Point Geometry Properties
From Point	Specifies the point to which the other geometry property values are relative.
Slope	Specifies the slope value from the point specified in the From Point row. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value.
Delta X	Specifies the offset value from the point specified in the From Point row. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value.
Elevation Target	Specifies the elevation target parameter. When an elevation target is specified, the elevation of the target object overrides the specified Slope and Superelevation values.
Offset Target	Specifies the offset target parameter. When an offset target is specified, the offset of the target object overrides the specified Delta X value.
Superelevation	Specifies the superelevation slope target: Left Inside Lane Slope Left Inside Shoulder Slope Left Outside Lane Slope Left Outside Shoulder Slope Right Inside Lane Slope Right Inside Shoulder Slope Right Outside Lane Slope Right Outside Shoulder Slope None When a superelevation target is specified, the slope of the target object overrides the specified Slope value.
Auto Add Link
Auto Link To From Point	Draws a link from the point specified in the From Point row to the current point.
Name	Specifies the name of the link.
Codes	Specifies the codes assigned to the link.
Miscellaneous
Comment	Indicates notes about the point. Comments can be displayed in the Preview panel.

Examples

To see examples of how this geometry element is used, open the following Sample PKT file:

Point Slope and Delta X Example.pkt

The example PKT contains five Slope and Delta X point examples. Each Point Geometry Type is defined by Slope and Delta X parameter values, either of which may be overridden by specified target parameters. The same Slope and Delta X values are used in all five examples. The Static Values (P1 to P2) example applies the values, but the remaining examples use target parameters that override the static values.

In the Flowchart, each example is constructed in a separate sequence. To review the parameters, select the Slope and Delta X point in the appropriate sequence, and then see the Point Geometry Properties section of the Properties panel.
